Answer

$\frac{f_1}{f_2}$

Work Step by Step

We know that for the first lens $tan\theta=\frac{d_1}{2f_1}$.....eq(1) and for the second lens $tan\theta=\frac{d_2}{2f_2}$.....eq(2) Now, comparing eq(1) and eq(2), we obtain: $\frac{d_1}{2f_1}=\frac{2f_1}{2f_2}$ This can be rearranged as: $\frac{d_1}{d_2}=\frac{2f_1}{2f_2}$ $\frac{d_1}{d_2}=\frac{f_1}{f_2}$
