JEE Main & Advanced Physics Question Bank Human Eye and Lens Camera

  • question_answer
    An eye specialist prescribes spectacles having a combination of convex lens of focal length 40 cm in contact with a concave lens of focal length 25 cm. The power of this lens combination in diopters is [IIT 1997 Cancelled; DPMT 2000]

    A)            + 1.5                                        

    B)            ? 1.5

    C)            + 6.67                                      

    D)            ? 6.67

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       Power of convex lens \[{{P}_{1}}=\frac{100}{40}=2.5\ D\]                    Power of concave lens \[{{P}_{2}}=-\frac{100}{25}=-\ 4\ D\]            Now \[P={{P}_{1}}+{{P}_{2}}=2.5\ D-4\ D=-\ 1.5\ D\]
