Find the power of a convex lens if the image formed is at a distance of 20 cm from the lens when the object is placed on the other side of the lens at 60 cm from the optical centre?

  1. A
    3.33 diopters
  2. B
    6.67 diopters
  3. C
    -6.67 diopters
  4. D
    -3.33 diopters

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

According to Cartesian sign convention for a convex lens:Object distance () = Image distance () = (since it forms on the other side of the lens, it is a real image)Using the lens formula:

Substituting the values:


Since Power () of a lens is given by (where is in meters):
