Two lenses of power -1.6 D and +2.1 D respectively are placed in contact. The focal length of the combination is

  1. A 100 cm
  2. B 200 cm
  3. C 160 cm
  4. D 210 cm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 200 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, the power of the lens, P1=-1.6 D and P2=+2.1 D ∵ P=P1+P2=-1.6 D+2.1 D=0.5 D, now use the relation between focal length and power of the lens, ∴ P=1fm⇒P=100fcm⇒0.5=100f. Focal length of the combination,…
