What is the sign of the power of (i) a convex lens (ii) a concave lens ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the sign of the power of a convex lens and a concave lens, we need to understand the relationship between the focal length of the lens and its power. The power of a lens (P) is given by the formula: \[ P = \frac{1}{f} \] where \( f \) is the focal length of the lens. ### Step-by-Step Solution: ...

What is the sign of the power of the lens used to correct myopia ?

Assertion:A convex lens and a concave lens are kept in contact. They will behave as a diverging lens if focal length of convex lens is more. Reason: Power of a concave lens is always less than the power of a convex lens, as power of concave lens is negative whereas power of convex lens is positive.

A comvex lens and a concave lens are placed in contact. The ratio of magnitude of the power of the convex lens to that of the concave lens is 4:3. If the focal length of the convex lens is 12 cm, then the focal length of the combination will be
