The correct answer is 5.0 D

Key Points

  • Power of a convex lens
    • The power of a lens is its capacity to alter the light that enters it. Because a lens with a shorter focal length bends lights more, it has more power.
    • The light rays converge toward the principal axis in a convex lens, while the light rays diverge away from the principal axis in a concave lens.
    • Here, P=1/f
    • The inverse of a lens's focal length (f) in meters (m) is its power.
    • A lens's power is measured in m-1. Diopter is another name for this.

Additional Information

  • Calculations
    • Given, Convex lens
      Focal Length, f = 20cm= 20/100=0.2m 
      We know, P=1/f
      So putting values in formula
      P=1/0.2=10/2
      P= 5.0D
