Which one among the following is the correct focal length of a combination of lenses of power 2.5 D and -2.0 D?

  1. A. +0.5 m
  2. B. -0.5 m
  3. C. +2.0 m
  4. D. -2.0 m

Correct Answer: C. +2.0 m

Explanation

The equivalent power of the combination is P = P_{1} + P_{2} = 2.5~D - 2.0~D = +0.5~D. The focal length is f = 1/P = 1/0.5 = +2.0~m.
