Question:

spherical convex surface separates object and image space of refractive index 1 and 4/3 respectively. If radius of curvature of the surface is 0.1 m, its power is :

Options:

2.5 D

−2.5 D

3.3 D

−3.3 D

Correct Answer:

2.5 D

Explanation:

For a single spherical surface

$\frac{μ_2}{f}=\frac{μ_2-μ_1}{R}$

$⇒P=\frac{μ_2-μ_1}{μ_2R}$

putting the values, P = 2.5 D.
