alleryPower of a lens (P) is defined as:
Af
B1/f (in meters; SI unit: dioptre)
C2/f
Df²
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 1/f (in meters; SI unit: dioptre)
P = 1/f where f in meters. SI unit: dioptre (D).
**Convex lens:** positive power; concave: negative.
Doctors prescribe spectacles in dioptres.
