Answer to Question #181898 in Optics for Deepankr

Question

A converging lens of focal length 0.40cm is combined with a diverging lens of focal length 0.20cm the power of combination of the lens is

Answer 1

Focal length of the converging lens is 0.40 cm i.e. f₁ ​= 0.004 m

Focal length of the diverging lens is 0.20 cm i.e. f₂​ = −0.002 m

$P=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{f_1}+\frac{1}{f_2}=\frac{1}{0.004}+\frac{1}{-0.002}=-250$ D
