Two lenses have power of (a) + 2D (b) – 4D. What is the nature and focal length of each lens?

Power P1 = 2D;

Since Power is positive. Therefore, the lens is convex lens.





1m = 100cm


0.5m = 50cm.


Hence the focal length is 50cm


P2 = -4D.


Since the power is negative. Therefore, the lens is concave lens.





1m = 100cm


0.25m = 25cm.


Hence the focal length is -25cm
