POWER

→ It is dened as the reciprocal of focal length in meter.


→ The degree of convergence or divergence of light rays is
expressed in terms of power.

Power (P) = 1/f = 1/v - 1/u


→ SI unit of Power = dioptre = D
→ 1 D = 1 m-1
→ 1 dioptre is the power of lens whose focal length is one meter.

Power of convex lens = Positive


Power of concave lens = Negative

→ Power ∝ 1/(focal length or thickness)


→ Power of a lens combination (P) = P1 + P2 + P3 .........
Numericals
Q.1. A concave lens produces an image 20 cm from the lens of an object placed
30 cm from the lens. Calculate the power of the lens.
Q.2. A convex lens is of focal length 10 cm. What is its power?
Q.3. A person having a myopia eye uses a concave lens of focal length 50 cm.
What is the power of the lens?
Q.4. A thin lens has a focal length of –25 cm. What is the power of the lens and
what is its nature?
Q.5. A lens has a power of –2.5 D. What is the focal length and nature of the
lens? 6.Find the power of a concave lens of focal length 2 m.
Q.6. A convex lens forms a real and inverted image of needle at a distance of 50
cm from the lens. If the image is of the same size as the needle, where is the
needle placed in front of the lens? Also, find the power of the lens.
Q.7. Two thin lenses of power +3.5 D and –2.5 D are placed in contact. Find the
power and focal length of the lens combination.
Q.8. A doctor has prescribed a corrective lens of power –1.5 D. Find the focal
length of the lens. Is the prescribed lens is diverging or converging?
Q.9. A concave lens of focal length 25 cm and a convex lens of focal length 20
cm are placed in contact with each other. What is the power of this
combination? Also, calculate focal length of the combination.
Q.10. A convex lens of focal length 20 cm is placed in contact with a concave lens
of focal length 10 cm. What is the focal length and power of the combination?

length 30 cm. Find the nature and position of the image.
Q.12. An object of height 2 cm is placed at a distance of 15 cm in front of a
concave lens of power –10 D. Find the size of the image.
