(a) Define the following terms:
(i) Power of a lens
(ii) Principal focus of a concave mirror
Answers
Answer:
1. The power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of its focal length in meters, or D = 1/f, where D is the power in diopters and f is the focal length in meters. Lens surface power can be found with the index of refraction and radius of curvature.
2. Define the Principal Focus of a Concave Mirror? Light rays that are parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror converge at a specific point on its principal axis after reflecting from the mirror. This point is known as the principal focus of the concave mirror.
HOPE IT HELPS ❤️‼️
the ability of a lens to converge or diverge a beam of ray is called as accomodation of a lens .
2:. focal length : the distance between the pole and the principle focus of a spherical mirror.
Explanation:
a beam of light parallel to principle axis either gets converged or diverged after refraction by a lens .
