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?
- A3.33 diopters
- B6.67 diopters
- C-6.67 diopters
- 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):
Substituting the values:
Since Power () of a lens is given by (where is in meters):
