Two thin lenses of power + 3D and - 1D are held in contact with each other. Focal length of the combination would be :

  1. A \( 5 \text{ m} \)
  2. B \( 50 \text{ cm} \)
  3. C \( 10 \text{ m} \)
  4. D \( 100 \text{ cm} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 50 \text{ cm} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( P_{total} = P_1 + P_2 \) \( P_{total} = +3 \text{ D} - 1 \text{ D} = 2 \text{ D} \) \( F = \frac{1}{P_{total}} = \frac{1}{2 \text{ D}} = 0.5 \text{ m} \) \( F = 0.5 \text{ m} \times 100 \text{ cm/m} = 50 \text{ cm} \)
