Solution
The focal length of the plano-convex lens is:
`1/f = (1.5 - 1)(1/((+10)) - 1/∞) = 1/20`
`f = 20`
The focal length of plano-concave lens is:
`1/f = (1.5 - 1)(1/∞ - 1/10) = -1/20`
`f = -20`
Since parallel beams are incident on the lens, its image from plano-concave lens will be formed at +30 cm from it (at the focus) and will act as an object for plano-concave lens. Since the two lenses are separated by a distance of 20 cm, therefore for the next lens.
u = +10 cm
`v = (uf)/((u + f)) = (10 xx(- 20))/(10 + (- 20)`
`v = (-200)/(-10)`
`v` = 20 cm (final position of the image formed)
