A convex lens of focal length 40 cm is in contact with a concave lens of focal length 25 cm . The power of combination is
- $\quad-1.5 \mathrm{D}$
- -6.5 D
- $\quad+6.5 \mathrm{D}$
- +1.5 D
Solution
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{P}=\frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{f}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}_1}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}_2} \\ & \mathrm{P}=\frac{1}{0.4}+\frac{1}{-0.25}=\frac{10}{4}-\frac{100}{25}=2.5-4=-1.5 \mathrm{D}\end{aligned}$
