Two thin lenses of focal lengths 10 cm and 20 cm placed in contact. Combined power:

Answer: 15 D.

  • A 10 D
  • B 15 D
  • C 30 D
  • D 2 D

Correct answer: B. 15 D

Explanation: P = P<sub>1</sub> + P<sub>2</sub> = 100/10 + 100/20 = 10 + 5 = 15 D.

Concave mirror ray diagram with an object drawn as a candle on the principal axis, the focal point F marked, and the parallel ray and focal ray reflecting to form an inverted real image

Concave mirror ray construction: a ray parallel to the axis reflects through F, and a ray through F reflects parallel, locating the inverted real image. Image: Maxmath12, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons.

Concept context

Reflection, refraction, lenses, mirrors, total internal reflection.
