In a certain camera, a combination of four similar thin convex lenses are arranged axially in contact. Then the power of the combination and the total magnification in comparison to the power \((p)\) and magnification \((m)\) for each lens will be, respectively

  1. A \(4 p\) and \(4 m\)
  2. B \(p^4\) and \(4 m\)
  3. C \(4 p\) and \(m^4\)
  4. D \(p^4\) and \(m^4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4 p\) and \(m^4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When a combination of lens is used then total power
\(\begin{aligned} P_{\text {net }} & =P+P+P+P \\ & =4 P \end{aligned}\)
Total magnification \(m _{ net }= m \times m \times m \times m = m ^4\)
