If two + 5 D , lenses are mounted at some distance apart, the equivalent power will always be negative, if the distance is
Options
- AGreater than 40   cm
- BEqual to 10   cm
- CGreater than 8 0 cm
- DLess than 10   cm
Correct answer
A. Greater than 40   cm
Step-by-step solution
When two lenses are separated by some distance x , then equivalent power P = P ₁ + P ₂ - x P ₁ P ₂ ∴ P = 5 + 5 - x × 5 × 5 o r   P = 10 - 25 x Power P will be negative if 10-25x will be negative i e ,         25 x > 10 o r     x > 10 25 o r     x > 10 25 × 100   cm o r     x > 40   cm
