A lens of power -4.0 Diopter. It means ________ .

  1. A Concave lens of focal length -25.0 cm
  2. B Concave lens of focal length -0.25 cm
  3. C Concave lens of focal length +0.25 cm
  4. D Concave lens of focal length +25.0 cm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Concave lens of focal length -25.0 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) Concave lens of focal length -25.0 cm
Power \(\mathrm{P}=\frac{1}{f}\)
\(\therefore \quad f=\frac{1}{\mathrm{P}}\)
\(\therefore \quad f=\frac{1}{-4}\)
\(\therefore \quad f=-0.25 \mathrm{~m}\)
\(\therefore \quad f=-25 \mathrm{~cm}\)
