Q- Define the Power lens. State and
define the SI unit of power.
Answers
Answer:
Power of lens is the ability of the lens to converge the rays of light falling on it. It can also be defined as P=1/f where f is the focal length. S.I. unit of power is D(Dioptre). It is represented by letter 'P'.

Answer:
If a lens has a shorter focal length it is said to be more powerful. The power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of the focal length. Lens power is measured in dioptres (D). Diverging (concave ) lenses have negative focal lengths, so they also have negative power values.
In the International System of Units (SI), the unit of power is the watt (W), which is equal to one joule per second. Other common and traditional measures are horsepower (hp), comparing to the power of a horse; one mechanical horsepower equals about 745.7 watts.
