Paragraph
A thin convex lens L1 of focal length f 1 and another thin convex lens L2
of focal length f2 are kept co-axially at such a distance apart that rays
incident parallel to the optic axis on lens L 1 emerge parallel to the optic
axis from lens L2. Such an arrangement is called a beam expander and
it is commonly used to increase the width of a beam. It is found that L1
forms a ‘beam expander’ with L 2 when they are at a distance 50cm
apart. It is also possible to form a ‘beam expander’ with lenses one of
which is convex and the other concave. Let us have an arrangement of
lens L1 with another lens L3 (concave) of focal length 10cm. L1 and L3
are kept co-axially at a suitable distance ‘d’ apart such that rays incident
parallel to optic axis on L 1 emerge parallel to the axis from L 3. This
arrangement is shown in figure (A) with L 1 and L3 forming a beam
expender, let us locate an object AB at distance x from L1, as shown in
fig (B). It is found that for x = 20cm, the image of object AB formed by
les L1 is virtual whereas for x = 20cm, it is real. Let us now place AB
such that x = 30cm. Let I1 be the image of object AB formed by lens L1
and I be the final image.
