A convex lens of focal length 40 cm is in contact with a concave lens of focal length 25 cm. The power of the combination is ..........

Answer»

`-6.5` D
`+6.5` D
`+1.5` D
`-1.5` D

Solution :The power for the CONCAVE lens of focal length `f_1` = 25 CM
`P_1=(-1)/(f_1)=-(1)/(0.25)=-4D`
The power for the concave lens of focal length `f_2` = 40 cm
`P_2=(1)/(f_2)=(1)/(0.40)=2.5D`
Note : The focal length of concave lens is negative.
`therefore` The power of the combination of TWO lens,
`P=P_1+P_2=-4.0+2.5=-1.5D`
