If the space between the lenses in the lens combination shown were filled with water, what should happen to the focal length and power of the lens combination ?

A

Focal length `=` Decreased, Power`=`increased

B

Focal length `=` Decreased, Power`=` unchanged

C

Focal length `=` Increased, Power `=`unchnaged

D

Focal length `=` Increased, Power`=` decreased

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`P=(mu-1)((1)/(R_(1))-(1)/(R_(2)))`
`mu` decreaes, `P` decrease. `f` increases.
