A focal length of a lens is \( 10 \mathrm{~cm} \). What is power of a lens in dioptre ?

  1. A \( 0.1 \mathrm{D} \)
  2. B \( 10 \mathrm{D} \)
  3. C \( 15 \) D
  4. D O \( 20 \) D
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 10 \mathrm{D} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, focal length \( =10 \mathrm{~cm}=10 \times 10^{-2}=0.1 \mathrm{~m} \)
Power of lens \( =\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.1}=1 \) dioptre
Thus, power of lens in dioptre is \( 10 \mathrm{D} \)
