A concave lens is kept in contact with a convex lens of focal length 20 cm . The combination works as convex lens of focal length 50 cm . The power of concave lens is
Options
- AP=-3.0 D
- BP=+3.0 D
- CP=-0.3 D
- DP=+0.3 D
Correct answer
A. P=-3.0 D
Step-by-step solution
Power of the combination P=P₁+P₂=P_ concave +P_ convex 100 50 =P_ concave + 100 20 or 2=P_ concave +5 or P_ concave =2-5=-3.0 D
