Question

the power of combination of two lenses XY is 5D if focal length of X is 15cm. state the Naturevand focal length of lens Y

Answer 1

Answer:Focal length of lens X = 15 cm = 0.15 m

Power of lens X

= 1/0.15

= 100/15

= 20/3

= +6.66 D

Power of Combination of lenses X & Y

= power of lens X + power of lens Y

5 = 6.66 + Power of lens Y

Power of lens Y

= 5-6.66

= -1.66 D

----------------------------------------------

(a) Focal length = 1/Power

f = 1/(-1.66)

f = -0.6 m

f = -60 cm

------------------------------------–-------

(b) As the focal length of lens Y is negative hence the nature of lens is Diverging lens, that is Concave lens.
