A convex lens having power 5 D is placed in contact with a concave lens having power-3 D. The focal length of the combination will be?

A-50 cm

B-0.5 cm

C50 cm

D0.5 cm

Answer:

C. 50 cm

Read Explanation:

  • The power of the combination is given by P = P1 + P2 = 5D + (-3D) = 2D.

  • The focal length is given by f = 1/P= 1/2D = 0.5m = 50cm
