If the focal length of a convex lens is 50 cm , which one of the following is its power?
Options
- A+2 dioptre
- B+0.02 dioptre
- C-0.5 dioptre
- D+0.5 dioptre
Correct answer
A. +2 dioptre
Step-by-step solution
Power of a lens is always reciprocal to the focal length. So, a convex lens with 50 cm focal length has a power of (1/0.5) Dioptre (D) or 2D. Since, a convex lens is a converging lens, the power of the convex lens is +2 D .
