    A convex and a concave lens separated by distance d are then put in contact. The focal length of the combination

    A)  decreases         

    B)  increases

    C)  becomes                          

    D)  remains the same

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    When two lenses are placed coaxially at a distance d from each other, then equivalent focal length, (F) is given by                 \[\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{{{f}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{{{f}_{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{f}_{1}}{{f}_{2}}}\] When the lenses are put together.                 \[d=0\] Hence, the focal length of the combination will decrease.
