Two lenses of power −15 D-15\text{ D} and +5 D+5\text{ D} are in contact with each other. The focal length of the combination is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. P=P1+P2=−15+5=−10 DP = P_1 + P_2 = -15 + 5 = -10\text{ D}
  2. f=1P=−0.1 m=−10 cmf = \frac{1}{P} = -0.1\text{ m} = -10\text{ cm}
  3. So the answer is (c) −10 cm-10\text{ cm}.
