There are two thin symmetrical lenses, one is converging with refractive index n1=1.70, and the other is diverging with refractive index n2=1.51. Both the lenses have the same curvature radius of their surfaces, equal to R=10 cm. The lenses were put close together and submerged into water. What is the focal length of this system in water? Refractive index of water in air is 1.33 .

A lens of diameter 5.0 cm and focal length f=25.0 cm was cut along the diameter into two identical halves. In the process, the layer of the lens, a=1.00 mm in thickness, was lost. Then the halves were put together to form a composite lens. In this focal plane, a narrow slit was placed, emitting monochromatic light with wavelength λ=0.60 μm. Behind the lens a screen was located at a distance b=50 cm from it. Find:
(a) the width of a fringe on the screen and the number of possible maxima;
(b) the maximum width of the slit δmax at which the fringes on the screen will be still observed sufficiently sharp.
