  2. B -1.5 D
  3. C \(+6.67 D\)
  4. D -6.67 D
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) -1.5 D

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P_1 = \frac{1}{f_1} = \frac{1}{0.40 \text{ m}} = +2.5 \text{ D}\) \(P_2 = \frac{1}{f_2} = \frac{1}{-0.25 \text{ m}} = -4.0 \text{ D}\) \(P_{comb} = P_1 + P_2 = +2.5 \text{ D} - 4.0 \text{ D} = -1.5 \text{ D}\)
