What is the power of a lens with a focal length of 0.5 meters?
Use the formula P = 1/f.
A concave lens has a focal length of -0.5 m. What is its power?
Similar formula applies for negative focal lengths.
What is the unit of power for a lens?
Think of the formula involving focal length.
True or False: A concave lens has positive power.
Remember the relationships between lens types and their power.
Calculate the power of a lens with a focal length of 15 cm. What if the same lens is now submerged in water with a refractive index of 1.33?
Don't forget to apply the refractive index when submerged!
