Q1 of 50 Page 43

What is the focal length of a convex lens having power + 5.0D?

Power of lens = .

Focal length =


1m = 100 cm.


0.2 m = 0.2 × 100 = 20 cm.


Focal length = 20 cm. (Positive for convex lens.)


Option (A): since focal length is positive for convex lens. Therefore, Option A is incorrect.


Option (B): since focal length is positive for convex lens. Therefore, Option B is incorrect.


Option (C): focal length is 20 cm not 10 cm therefore option (C) is incorrect.


Option (D): as explained in explanation focal length = + 20 cm therefore option D is correct.
