    A convex lens of focal length 40cm is in contact with a concave lens of focal length 25 cm. The power of the combination of the two lenses is:

    A) \[-1.5D\]        

    B) \[~-6.5\text{ }D\]

    C)  6.5 D          

    D)  6.67 D

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Key Idea: Power of lens is inverse of focal length in metres. The power of the combination of lenses is \[P=P{{ & }_{1}}+P{{ & }_{2}}\] where\[{{P}_{1}}=\frac{1}{{{f}_{1}}}\]and \[{{P}_{2}}=\frac{1}{{{f}_{2}}}\] Given, \[{{f}_{1}}=40\,cm=0.4m,\]              \[{{f}_{2}}=-25\,cm=-0.25\,m\] \[\therefore \] \[P=\frac{1}{0.4}-\frac{1}{0.25}=2.5-4=-1.5\,D\]
