Convex is magnifying glass, makes image larger. So its behavior is making big +ve. Concave is indicated as -ve.

Now three lenses are combined to make single lens. To get the property of new lens we have to find out its focal length, it can be calculated by 1/f = 1/f1+1/f2+1/f3.

f1 = f2 = 60, f3 = 15. You will get f = 30.

Concave (-) and convex (+).

Given:
Two concave i.e F1 = -1/60.
F2 = -1/60.

One convex lens i.e F3 = 1/15.
combined focal length = (F1 + F2) + F3.
= { ( -1/60) + ( -1/60) } + 1/15,
= (-2/60) + 1/15,
= -1/30 + 1/15,
= -1+2/30,
= 1/30 = 30.

Two concave lens = 60cm and convex lens = 15cm,
then 1/f = -1/f1 - 1/f2 + 1/f3
= -1/60 - 1/60 + 1/15
= -1/60 - 1/60 + 4/60
= 4 - 2/60
= 2/60
= 1/30.
So, the combination is 30 cm.

Formula: 1/f = 1/f1 + 1/f2.

According to the problem 60 cm on the either side i.e. f1 = f2 = 60 & focal length combination f = ?

Now, 1/f = 1/f1 + 1/f2.

1/f = 1/60 + 1/60.

= 1/30. So combination is 30.

We know that the focal length of the concave lens is negative and convex lens is positive then the focal length of the combination can be found out by using lens formula.

1/f = 1/60+1/60,
1/f = 1/30.

The combination of concave f = 30
add with convex,
1/f = 1/30+1/15,
1/f =1/10,
f = 10 cm of combination.

1/f =- (1/f1) - (1/f2) + (1/f3).
1/f =- (1/60) - (1/60) + (1/15).
1/f =- (1/30) + (1/15).
1/f = 15/450.
1/f = 1/30.

So, f = 30.

f1=f2=-60.
1/F1= 1/-60 +1/-60 =1/-30,
F1 =-30 and given F2 = 15,
1/F = 1/-30 +1/15 =1/30,
F =30 ans.

Simple.

1/f = -1/f -1/f + 1/f.
1/ f= -1/60 -1/60 + 1/15.
1/f= -1/30 + 1/15.
1/f= 1/30.
F=30.
