The power of a lens is . The focal length of the lens and its nature are:

  1. A
    50 cm, concave
  2. B
    50 cm, convex
  3. C
    100 cm, convex
  4. D
    100 cm, concave

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The formula relating the refractive power of a lens () to its focal length ( measured in meters) is given by:


Substituting the value :



Because the numeric sign of both the lens power and the resulting focal length is positive (), the physical nature of the lens is convex (converging).
