Question 39 If the power of a lens is ā 4.0 D, then it means that the lens is a (A) concave lens of focal length ā50 m (B) convex lens of focal length +50 cm (C) concave lens of focal length ā25 cm (D) convex lens of focal length ā25 m Now,
Power of lens = š/š
Here,
focal length is in meter
Since
Power = ā4D
š/š = ā4
(ā1)/š = f
f = (ā1)/4 m
Converting in cm
f = (ā1)/4 Ć 100 cm
f = ā25 cm
Since focal length is negative
ā“ it is a concave lens
So, the correct answer is (C)
