Two lenses of power +3 D and −1 D are kept in contact. The combination behaves as a
A. concave lens of focal length 50 cm
B. convex lens of focal length 25 cm
C. concave lens of focal length 2 m
D. convex lens of focal length 50 cm
A. concave lens of focal length 50 cm
B. convex lens of focal length 25 cm
C. concave lens of focal length 2 m
D. convex lens of focal length 50 cm
Best answer
Answer: D. convex lens of focal length 50 cm
\(P = 3 + (-1) = +2\) D, so \(f = \frac{1}{2}\) m = 50 cm. Positive power means it acts as a convex lens.
