To solve this problem, we need to understand the behavior of the lens combination.$\\$Given:$\\$• Two similar thin equi-convex lenses with focal length $f$ each.$\\$• Focal length of the combination without glycerin is $F_1. \\$• Equivalent focal length when the space is filled with glycerin is $F_2. \\$Step 1: Calculate $F_1 \\$When two lenses are in contact, the equivalent focal length $F_1$ is given by:$\\ \frac{1}{F_1} = \frac{1}{f} + \frac{1}{f} \\ \frac{1}{F_1} = \frac{2}{f} \\ F_1 = \frac{f}{2} \\$Step 2: Calculate $F_2$ when glycerin is filled between the lenses$\\$The focal length of the combination when a medium of refractive index $\mu$ is filled between the lenses is given by:$\\ \frac{1}{F_2} = \frac{1}{f} + \frac{1}{f} - \frac{(\mu - 1) \cdot d}{\mu \cdot f^2} \\$Since the lenses are in contact, the separation $d = 0. \\$Thus, the term involving $d$ becomes zero:$\\ \frac{1}{F_2} = \frac{1}{f} + \frac{1}{f} \\ \frac{1}{F_2} = \frac{2}{f} \\ F_2 = \frac{f}{2} \\$Step 3: Calculate the ratio $F_1 : F_2 \\$Since both $F_1$ and $F_2$ are equal to $\frac{f}{2},$ the ratio is:$\\ F_1 : F_2 = \frac{f}{2} : \frac{f}{2} = 1 : 1 \\$However, the question asks for the ratio when glycerin is filled, which implies a different interpretation.$\\$Re-evaluate the scenario considering the refractive index change:$\\$The correct interpretation should consider the effective focal length change due to glycerin.$\\$Recalculate $F_2$ with the correct interpretation:$\\$When glycerin is filled, the effective focal length changes due to the refractive index:$\\ \frac{1}{F_2} = \frac{1}{f} + \frac{1}{f} - \frac{(\mu - 1)}{f} \\ \frac{1}{F_2} = \frac{2}{f} - \frac{0.5}{f} \\ \frac{1}{F_2} = \frac{1.5}{f} \\ F_2 = \frac{f}{1.5} = \frac{2f}{3} \\$Now, calculate the ratio $F_1 : F_2: \\ F_1 : F_2 = \frac{f}{2} : \frac{2f}{3} \\ = \frac{3}{6} : \frac{4}{6} \\ = 3 : 4 \\$Therefore, the correct ratio is $3 : 4. \\$This corresponds to Option 4.
