Answer 2

The power of a concave lens is 2 D.

Explanation:

Given that,

Far point of eye, u = 50 cm

The object is placed at a distance of infinite, $u=-\infty$

We need to find the power of a concave lens. It can be calculated using lens formula as :

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{50}-\dfrac{1}{-\infty}$

f = 50 cm

Power, P = 1/f

$P=\dfrac{1}{50}$

$P=0.02\ m^{-1}$

or

P = 2 D

So, the power of a concave lens is 2 D. Hence, this is the required solution.
