    Two thin lenses of focal lengths \[{{f}_{1}}\] and \[{{f}_{2}}\] are in contact and coaxial. The power of the combination is

    A) \[\sqrt{\frac{{{f}_{1}}}{{{f}_{2}}}}\]                         

    B)        \[\sqrt{\frac{{{f}_{2}}}{{{f}_{1}}}}\]

    C) \[\frac{{{f}_{1}}+{{f}_{2}}}{{{f}_{1}}{{f}_{2}}}\]                  

    D) \[\frac{{{f}_{1}}+{{f}_{2}}}{{{f}_{1}}{{f}_{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    If two thin lenses of focal lengths \[{{f}_{1}},{{f}_{2}}\]are placed in contact coaxially, then equivalent focal length of combination is \[\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{{{f}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{{{f}_{2}}}-\frac{0}{{{f}_{1}}{{f}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{{{f}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{{{f}_{2}}}\] Power for the combination is \[P=\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{{{f}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{{{f}_{2}}}=\frac{{{f}_{1}}+{{f}_{2}}}{{{f}_{1}}{{f}_{2}}}\]
