A. 0.05
B.0.06
C.0.25
D.0.12
B) the focal length of one lens is -40 cm and that if the other is +20 cm . The foxal length of this combination wil be
A.15.2cm
B.40cm
C.-40cm
D.35cm

Answer:

A) Option A 0.05

B) Option B 40 cm

Explanation:

(A) Magnification of the lens

M=6

Least distance of Distinct vision

D=25 cm

We know that if focal length of the lens is f then

\boxed{M=1+\frac{D}{f}}

\implies 6=1+\frac{25}{f}

\implies \frac{25}{f}=5

\implies f=\frac{25}{5} cm

\implies f=5 cm

or, f=0.05 m

(B) Given two focal lengths

f_1=-40 cm

f_2=+20 cm

Power of the lens is reciprocal of the focal length

Power of the lenses will be

P_1=\frac{1}{f_1}=\frac{1}{-40}=-\frac{1}{40}

P_2=\frac{1}{f_2}=\frac{1}{20}

Combined power of the lens

P=P_1+P_2

\implies P=-\frac{1}{40}+\frac{1}{20}

\implies P=\frac{-1+2}{40}

\implies P=\frac{1}{40}

Therefore, the combined focal length will be

F=\frac{1}{P}

\implies F=\frac{1}{1/40}

\implies F=40 cm

Hope this helps.
