Question:

Two lenses of power 3D and -1D are kept in contact. The focal length of the combined lens would be:

Options:

50 cm

200 cm

100 cm

400 cm

Correct Answer:

50 cm

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → 50 cm

Power of the combined lens (P) is,

$P=P_1+P_2$

$=3D+(-1D)=2D$

and,

focal length (f) is,

$f=\frac{1}{P(m)}=\frac{100}{2}=50cm$
