Two thin lenses of focal lengths f1 and f2 are in contact and coaxial. The power of the combination is
If θ1 and θ2 be the apparent angles of dip observed in two vertical planes at right angles to each other, then the true angle of dip θ is given by
cot2θ = cot2θ1+ cot2θ2
tan2θ = tan2θ1+ tan2θ2
cot2θ = cot2θ1– cot2θ2
cot2θ = cot2θ1– cot2θ2

A beam of light from a source L is incident normally on a plane mirror fixed at a certain distance x from the source. The beam is reflected back as a spot on a scale placed just above the source L. When the mirror is rotated through a small angle θ, the spot of the light is found to move through a distance y on the scale. The angle θ is given by
y/2x
y/x
2y/x
2y/x
