CBSEENPH12038228

Two thin lenses of power +4D and -2D are in contact. What is the focal length of the combination?

Solution
Power of first lens = +4 D
Power of second lens = -2 D
Power of the combination of lens,
P = P1+P2      = 4 - 2     = + 2D
Since focal length, f = 1P
Focal length of the lens,
 f = 12 = 0.5 m               = 50 cm
