Two thin lenses of powers 12 D and-2D respectively are placed in contact, the power, focal length and nature
respectively will be

  • 8D, 0.8m, convex

  • 14D, 0.5m, convex

  • 5D, 0.2m, convex

  • 10D, 0.1m, convex

Solution

D.

10D, 0.1m, convex

Given:- P1=12D, P2=-2DPower of combinationP=P1+P2=12-2=10DFocal length f=1P=110m=0.1mThe combined lens will  be convex (convergent)

Convex lens refers to the lens which merges the light at a particular point, that travels through it.
