Given:-
- Power of Lens ,P = -5 D
To Find:-
- Focal length ,f
- Which type of lens is this ?
Solution:-
As we know that Power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of its focal length.
• P = 1/f
where,
P is the Power of Lens
f is the focal length
Substitute the value we get
→ -5 = 1/f
→ f = 1/-5
→ f = -1/5
→ f = -0.2 m
→ f = 0.2 × 100cm = -20 cm
Therefore,the focal length of the lens is 20 cm.
Here, the focal length of the lens is in negative so, the lens will be concave lens.
