The power of a combination of convex lens of focal length 40 cm and a concave lens of focal length 25 cm when placed in contact is :
- A +1.5 D
- B -1.5 D
- C \(+6.67 D\)
- D -6.67 D
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) -1.5 D
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(P_1 = \frac{1}{f_1} = \frac{1}{0.40 \text{ m}} = +2.5 \text{ D}\) \(P_2 = \frac{1}{f_2} = \frac{1}{-0.25 \text{ m}} = -4.0 \text{ D}\) \(P_{comb} = P_1 + P_2 = +2.5 \text{ D} - 4.0 \text{ D} = -1.5 \text{ D}\)
