    If two lenses of +5 diopters are mounted at some distance apart, the equivalent power will always be negative if the distance is                                                                        [BCECE 2005]

    A)            Greater than 40 cm           

    B)            Equal to 40 cm

    C)            Equal to 10 cm                     

    D)            Less than 10 cm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       Using \[P={{P}_{1}}+{{P}_{2}}-d\times {{P}_{1}}{{P}_{2}}\]                    for equivalent power to be negative                    \[d\times {{P}_{1}}{{P}_{2}}>{{P}_{1}}+{{P}_{2}}\] Þ \[d\times 25>10\]            Þ \[d>\frac{10}{25}m\] Þ \[d>\frac{10\times 100}{25}\] Þ \[d>40cm.\]
