Power of lens of focal length 25 cm is
Options
- A+2.5 Dioptre
- B+3 Dioptre
- C+4 Dioptre
- D+5 Dioptre
Correct answer
C. +4 Dioptre
Step-by-step solution
We define the power of a lens as the reciprocal of the focal length of the lens. So, the power of the lens is expressed as P =1 / f Where f is the focal length and is expressed in meters. So, the unit of power of the lens is expressed in m ⁻¹ . This is also expressed as diopter. As we know that the focal length of a convex lens is taken as in positive sign and the focal length of a concave lens is taken negatively. So, the power of a convex lens is positive, and the power of a concave lens is negative. In this ques
