Given,
Power of lens = +1.5D (D - dioptre)
Let the focal length be f.
Power of lens = 1/focal length (in metres)
= 100/focal length (in centimetres)
1.5 = 100/f
=> f = 100/1.5
=> f = 1000/15
=> f = 66.67m
Focal Length = +66.67m
As,the focal length is positive, it is convex lens.So, the lens is convergent in nature.
The Prescribed Lens is Converging in nature.

Power of lens = +1.5D
So,
1.5 = 100/f
f = 100/1.5
f= 1000/15
f= 66.67m
Therefore,the prescribed lens is converging in nature.
