    A convex lens and a concave lens, each having same focal length of 25 cm, are put in contact to form a combination of lenses. The power in diopters of the combination is

    A)  25           

    B)  50

    C)  infinite       

    D)  zero

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Focal length of combination of lenses placed in contact is \[\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{{{f}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{{{f}_{2}}}\] For convex lens, \[{{f}_{1}}=25\,cm\] For concave lens, \[{{f}_{2}}=-25\,cm\] Hence, \[\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{25}+\frac{1}{-25}=\frac{1}{25}-\frac{1}{25}=0\] \[F=\frac{1}{0}=\infty \] Hence, power of combination, \[P=\frac{1}{F}=0\,D\]
