    If a convex lens of focal length 80 cm and a concave lens of focal length 50 cm combined together, what will be their result power?

    A) + 0.65 D               

    B)        -0.65 D 

    C)        + 0.75 D               

    D)        -0.75 D

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{f}_{1}}=+\,80\,cm,\] \[{{f}_{2}}=-\,50\,cm.\] Resultant focal length \[F=\frac{{{f}_{1}}{{f}_{2}}}{{{f}_{1}}+{{f}_{2}}}\]     \[=\frac{80\times -\,50}{80-50}=\frac{-\,4000}{30}\]                     \[=-\,\frac{4000}{3}cm.\] Resultant power\[P=\frac{100}{F}=\frac{100}{-\,400/3}\] \[=-\frac{3}{4}\] \[=-\,0.75D\]
