The power of a lens of focal length 10 cm is
General KnowledgePhysics
- A0.1 dioptre
- B1 dioptre
- C10 dioptre
- D100 dioptre
Explanation
The power of a lens in dioptres is P = 100 / f, where f is the focal length in centimetres (or 1/f with f in metres). For f = 10 cm, P = 100/10 = 10 dioptres. Equivalently, f = 0.1 m gives P = 1/0.1 = 10 D.
