    An eye specialist prescribes spectacles havin? a combination of a convex lens of focal length 40 cm contact with a concave lens of length 25cm. The power of this lens combination will be

    A)  +1.5 D                 

    B)  -1.5 D

    C)  6.67 D                  

    D)  -6.67 D

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[\text{Power}\,=\frac{\text{1}}{\text{Focal}\,\text{length}}\] Focal length of combination of convex and concave lens is given by \[\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{{{f}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{{{f}_{2}}}\] where,\[{{f}_{1}}\]and\[{{f}_{2}}\]be the focal lengths of convex and concave lenses respectively \[\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{0.4}+\frac{1}{(-\,0.25)}\] \[\frac{1}{F}=-\,1.5\] \[P=-\,1.5\,D\]
