Power of Combination of Lenses
Power of Combination of Lenses
Power of Lens:
The power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of its focal length.
Here SI unit for the focal length is meters. The S.I. unit of power is diopter(D).
Power of Combination of Lens:
When two or more thin lenses are kept in contact with each other such that they have the same principal axis, then the power of the combination is treated as a single thin lens.The power of this combination is equal to the algebraic sum of powers of individual lenses i.e.
.
When two or more thin lenses are used in combination, the equivalent focal length (f) can be calculated as the reciprocal of the resultant power of the combination (P). The focal length F of the equivalent single lens is given by:
Let us take the case of two lenses of focal length and
. The power of these lenses be
and
. Then
This equation is often used in deciding the power of lens to be prescribed for a person suffering a vision defect
Illustration: If by using two lenses of power +1.5 D and +1.0 D in contact the person can see properly, then find power of the lens prescribed to the person.
Solution: Given power of two lenses
then power of the combination will be:
A combination of lens power +2.50 D is prescribed to the person.
Uses of Combination of Lenses:
1. The use of combination of lenses increases the sharpness of image, the image produced is also free from many defects.
2. The additive property of the powers of the lenses can be used to design lens systems to minimise certain defects in images produced by a single lens. Such a lens system, consisting of several lenses in contact, is commonly used in designing of camera lenses and the objectives of microscopes and telescopes.

Students / Parents Reviews [10]
Abhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.

10thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.

8thIt was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
Cheshta
10thIt has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
Barkha Arora
10thOne of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.

10thAbout Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.
Shreya Shrivastava
8thA marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.

7thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
