### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Power of a Lens**: The power of a lens is defined as the degree to which it converges or diverges light rays that pass through it. 2. **Understanding Convergence and Divergence**: When parallel rays of light pass through a converging lens (convex lens), they meet at a point called the focal point. Conversely, a diverging lens (concave lens) causes parallel rays to spread out. 3. **Mathematical Representation**: The power of a lens (P) can be mathematically expressed as the reciprocal of its focal length (f) in meters: \[ ...
