उत्तर
Focal length of convex lens f1 = + 25 cm = + 0.25 m
Power of convex lens`p_1=1/(f_1)=1/0.25=4D`
Focal length of concave lens f2 = - 10 cm = - 0.10 m
Power of concave lens `p_2=1/(f_2)=1/-0.10=-10D`
(a) The power of the combination of lenses is the algebraic sum of the powers of the individual lenses.
∴ Power of combination P = P1 + P2
⇒ P = 4 - 10 = - 6 D.
(b) Suppose, the focal length of the combination of the lenses is f.
The power of a lens and the focal length are related as:
`p=1/f`
`-6=1/f`
`f=1/-6=-0.167m -16.7 cm`
Therefore, the focal length of the combination of the lenses is - 16.7 cm.
(c) The focal length of the combination of the lenses is - 16.7 cm. Here, the negative sign shows that the combination of the two lenses acts like a concave lens. Therefore, this combination of lenses is diverging.
