Question

Assertion :If P1 and P2 be the powers of two thin lenses located coaxially in a medium of refractive index μ at a distance d, then the power P of the combination is P=P1+P2P1P2dμ Reason: Because for above given system equivalent focal length is given by F=f1f2f1+f2d/μ and P=1F.

A

Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
F=f1f2f1+f2d/μ

1F=f1f1f2+f2f1f2d/μf1f2

1F=1f2+1f1d/μf1f2

Now we use 1F=P,1f1=P1,1f2=P2

P=P1+P2P1P2d/μ
