A symmetrical double convex lens is cut into two equal parts by a plane containing the principal axis. The power of the divided lens is :

  1. A Half of the original lens
  2. B equal to that of the original lens
  3. C double of the original lens
  4. D four times of the original lens
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) equal to that of the original lens

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The power of a lens depends on its focal length \(f\), which is determined by the radii of curvature of its surfaces and the refractive index of the material. Cutting a lens into two equal parts along its principal axis reduces its effective aperture but does not change the…
