A convex lens and a concave lens, each having same focal length of 25 cm, are put in contact to form a combination of lenses. The power in diopters of the combination is :
- 25
- 50
- infinite
- zero
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
PC = P1+P2P1 \(\rightarrow\) Power of convex Lens P2 =100f (in cm) =10025
=+4DP2 \(\rightarrow\) Power of concave lens P2=100−25 =−4DPC = P1+P2 = 4−4 = 0
Therefore, the correct option is (D): zero

Spherical Lenses
Lenses that are made by combining two spherical transparent surfaces are called spherical lenses. In general, there are two kinds of spherical lenses. Lenses that are made by joining two spherical surfaces that bulge outward are convex lenses, whereas lenses that are made by joining two spherical surfaces that curve inward are concave lenses.
Properties of Convex lens:
- In this, the lenses are thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges.
- They have a positive focal length.
- It intersects the incident rays towards the principal axis
- These lenses are used in the camera, focus sunlight, projector microscope, simple telescope, overhead projector, magnifying glasses, etc.
Properties of Concave lens:
- These lenses are thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges.
- They have a negative focal length.
- It parts the incident rays away from the principal axis.
- These are used in the glasses, spy holes, some telescopes in the doors, etc.
