A biconvex lens has radii of curvature, cm each. If the refractive index of the material of the lens is the power of the lens is:
To find the power of a biconvex lens, we use the lens maker's formula:where:⢠is the refractive index of the lens material.⢠cm is the radius of curvature of the first surface.⢠cm is the radius of curvature of the second surface (negative because it is convex).Substitute the given values into the formula:Simplify the expression: cmThe power of the lens is given by: (in diopters, when is in cm) DTherefore, the power of the lens is D, which corresponds to Option 3.
