Which of the following statements regarding the lenses is/are correct? I. Power of a convex lens is represented as a positive number. II. Power of a concave lens is represented as a negative number. |
Both l and ll Only ll Only l Neither l nor ll |
Both l and ll |
The correct answer is option 1. Both l and ll. The correct statement regarding the lenses is Both I and II. I. The power of a convex lens is indeed represented as a positive number. The power of a lens is measured in diopters (D), and for a convex lens, which converges light rays, the power is positive. II. Similarly, the power of a concave lens is represented as a negative number. A concave lens diverges light rays, and its power is indicated with a negative sign to denote its diverging nature. |
