Question:

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

Options:

5 m

50 cm

10 m

100 cm

Correct Answer:

50 cm

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 50 cm

The power (P) of a combination of lenses is -

$P=P_1+P_2$

where,

$P_1=+3D$ and $P_2=-1D$

$⇒P=3D-1D=2D$

Now, $P=\frac{100}{f(in\,cm)}⇒f=\frac{100}{2}=50cm$
