Dispersive powers of materials used in lenses of an achromatic doublet are in the ratio 5:3 .If the focal length of concave lensis 15 cm,then the focal length of the other lens will be- (1)=-9cm (2)+9cm (3)-12cm,(4)+12cm

A comvex lens and a concave lens are placed in contact. The ratio of magnitude of the power of the convex lens to that of the concave lens is 4:3. If the focal length of the convex lens is 12 cm, then the focal length of the combination will be

Power (P) of a lens is given by reciprocal of focal length (f) of the lens. i.e. P = 1//f . When f is in metre, P is in dioptre. For a convex lens, power is positive and for a concave lens, power is negative. When a number of thin lenses of powers p_(1), p_(2), p_(3).... are held in contact with one another, the power of the combination is given by algebraic sum of the powers of all the lenses i.e., P = p_(1) + p_(2) + p_(3) + ........
