Three lenses having powers 2 D, 2.5 D and 1.7 D are kept touching in a row. What is the total power of the lens combination ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
The total power of the combination is 6.2 D.
Given: `P_(1)=2D, P_(2)=2.5 D, P_(3)=1.7D`
To find: Power of combination (P)
Formula: `P=P_(1)+P_(2)+P_(3)`
Calculation: From formula,
`P=2+2.5+1.7=6.2 D`
