A cylindrical tube filled with water is closed at its both ends by two thin, silvered plano-convex lenses, as shown in the figure. Refractive index of lenses and are and , while their radii of curvatures are and , respectively. A point object is placed somewhere at a point on the axis of the cylindrical tube. If it is found that all the images formed by multiple refractions and reflections coincide with the object, then the distance between both the lenses is
For the lens , the ray must move parallel to the axis after refraction, for the image to coincide with the object.
, where is the distance of the object from the lens
For the lens , the ray must appear to come from the centre of curvature after refraction, for the image to coincide with the object.
, where is the distance of the object from the lens
Distance between the two lenses =
