Answer:

So, a lens of higher power would converge or diverge light rays to a greater extent. ... Thus, the relation between power and focal length is inverse such that power is given as thereciprocal of the focal length of alens.

Explanation:

concave lens of very short focal length causes higher divergence than one with longer focal length.the degree of convergence or divergence of light rays acheived by a lens is expressed in terms of power.
