The power of a lens is + 0.2 D. Calculate its focal length.
Given:
Power of the lens, $P$ = $+$0.2 D
To find: Focal length of the lens, $f$.
Solution:
Power of a lens is given by:
$P=\frac {1}{f}$
Substituting the given values we get-
$0.2=\frac {1}{f}$
$f=-\frac {1}{0.2}$
$f=-\frac {10}{2}$
$f=-5m$
Thus, the focal length of the lens $f$ is 5 m, and the negative sign $(-)$ implies that the lens is diverging in nature. Hence, it is a concave lens.
