A lens has a power of \( +3 \, \text{D} \). What is its focal length in centimeters?

**Combination of lenses in contact** effective power P = P₁+P₂, effective focal length 1/F = 1/f₁ + 1/f₂, for thin lenses in contact. If separated by d, 1/F =1/f₁+1/f₂ - d/(f₁ f₂). Power adds algebraically, converging + with diverging - can cancel, used to correct aberrations and design achromatic doublets. Power: P = (1/f) (in meters). P = +3 D ⇒ 3 = (1/f) ⇒ f = (1/3) = 0.333 m ≈ 33.33 cm . Substituting values gives 33 cm, which matches expected image position and magnification from mirror/lens formula 1/f = 1/v - 1/u (lens) or 1/f = 1/v + 1/u (mirror), confirming sign conventions and refraction principles.

What ensures that a convex mirror produces an image smaller than the object at all positions?

**Lens combination** effective focal length calculation uses reciprocal sum, for f₁=10 cm, f₂=20 cm in contact, 1/F=1/10+1/20=3/20, F=6.67 cm, P=15 D, stronger converging than either alone, illustrating power addition. A convex mirror diverges reflected rays, making them appear to come from a point closer to the mirror than the object. This divergence reduces the image size relative to the object, resulting in a diminished image regardless of the object’s distance from the mirror. Substituting values gives Divergence reducing image size, which matches expected image position and magnification from mirror/lens formula 1/f = 1/v - 1/u (lens) or 1/f = 1/v + 1/u (mirror), confirming sign conventions and refraction principles.

In a concave lens, what is the effect on the image if the object is moved closer to the lens from a distant position?

**Two lenses in contact** behave as single lens with power sum, magnification product m = m₁×m₂. For f₁=20 cm (P₁=5 D), f₂=-20 cm (P₂=-5 D) in contact, P=0, F infinite, afocal system, beam emerges parallel, principle of corrective lenses for myopia/hypermetropia. For a concave lens, the image is always virtual, erect, and diminished. As the object moves closer, the image size increases (though still smaller than the object), and the image moves closer to the lens, but remains on the same side as the object. Substituting values gives Image size increases but remains diminished, which matches expected image position and magnification from mirror/lens formula 1/f
