Question:

The power of a convex lens of focal length 20 cm in dioptre unit is

Options:

0.5

0.05

5

2.5

Correct Answer:

5

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → 5

f = 20 cm

= 0.2 m

Power of lens is given by

$P=\frac{1}{f}$

$P=\frac{1}{20 ~cm}=\frac{1}{20 \times 10^{-2}}$ dioptre

∴ P = 5D
