If a convex lens of focal length 80 cm and a concave lens of focal length 50 cm are combined together, what will be their resultant power?

  • +0.65 D

  • -0.65 D

  • +0.75 D

  • -0.75 D

Solution

D.

-0.75 D

f1 = +80 cm, f2 = -50 cm

Resultant focal length 

F = f1f2f1 +f2   =80 × -5080 - 50  = -400030F  = -400030cmResultant power P = 100F                             = 100-400/3                            = -3/4                            = -0.75 D
