Two similar thin equi-convex lenses, of focal length \(f\) each, are kept coaxially in contact with each other such that the focal length of the combination is \(F_1\). When the space between the two lenses is filled with glycerin which has the same refractive index as that of glass \((\mu = 1.5),\) then the equivalent focal length is \(F_2\). The ratio \(F_1:F_2\) will be:
1. \(3:4\)
2. \(2:1\)
3. \(1:2\)
4. \(2:3\)

A plano-convex lens fits exactly into a plano-concave lens. Their plane surfaces are parallel to each other. If lenses are made of different materials of refractive indices \(\mu_1\) and \(\mu_2\) and \(R\) is the radius of curvature of the curved surface of the lenses, then the focal length of the combination is:
1. \(\frac{R}{2(\mu_1-\mu_2)}\) 2. \(\frac{R}{(\mu_1-\mu_2)}\)
3. \(\frac{2R}{(\mu_2-\mu_1)}\) 4. \(\frac{R}{2(\mu_1+\mu_2)}\)
