If a lens can converge the sun rays at a point 20 cm . away from its optical centre, the power of this lens is -
Solution:
Since rays are converging, so it is a converging lens i.e., convex lens. Rays coming from sun are considered to be coming from infinity and a converging lens converges all the incident rays from infinity at focus.
Convex lens forms real image of a distant object and its focal length is positive in sign.
So, here focal length= 20 cm = 0.2 m
Power of convex lens gives the degree of converging ability of the lens.
Power of lens is the reciprocal of focal length. Power=
=
= 5 D
Therefore, power of convex lens with20 cm focal length is + 5 D .
Convex lens forms real image of a distant object and its focal length is positive in sign.
So, here focal length
Power of convex lens gives the degree of converging ability of the lens.
Power of lens is the reciprocal of focal length. Power
Therefore, power of convex lens with
