    When a convex lens of focal length 10 cm is placed in contact with a concave lens, the combination has a power of + 5 diopter. The power of combination, when the lenses are separated by 10 cm in air, will be

    A)  \[+10D\]              

    B)         \[+20D\]

    C)  \[-5D\]                

    D)         \[-30D\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     We know,          \[\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{{{f}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{{{f}_{2}}}\] where, \[f=\frac{1}{5}m=20\,\,cm\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{1}{20}=\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{{{f}_{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{f}_{2}}=20\,\,cm\] When lenses are separated, then                 \[\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{{{f}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{{{f}_{2}}}-\frac{d}{{{f}_{1}}{{f}_{2}}}\]                    \[=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{20}=\frac{10}{10\times (-20)}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[f=10\,\,cm=0.1\,\,m\] \[\therefore \]  \[p=10\]diopter.
