Q.

Two thin convex lenses of focal lengths 30 cm and 10 cm are placed coaxially, 10 cm apart. The power of this combination is:          [2025]

1 5 D  
2 1 D  
3 20 D  
4 10 D  

Ans.

(4)

f1=30 cm, f2=10 cm

1feq=1f1+1f2df1f2, d = distance between lens

1feq=10.3+10.10.1(0.3)(0.1)

1feq=10.1

Power = 1feq=10 D
