Two thin lenses of focal lengths f₁ and f₂ are in contact and coaxial. The power of the combination is
Options
- Af₁ f₂
- Bf₂ f₁
- Cf₁+f₂ f₁ f₂
- Df₁+f₂ f₁ f₂
Correct answer
D. f₁+f₂ f₁ f₂
Step-by-step solution
If two thin lenses of focal lengths f₁, f₂ are placed in contact coaxially, then equivalent focal length of combination is 1 F = 1 f₁ + 1 f₂ - 0 f₁ f₂ = 1 f₁ + 1 f₂ Power for the combination is P= 1 F = 1 f₁ + 1 f₂ = f₁+f₂ f₁ f₂
