    A person sees clearly at a distance of \[100\,\,cm\], then power of lens used to see object at \[40\,\,cm\] is:

    A) \[3D\]                                  

    B) \[-3D\]

    C)  \[-1.5D\]                            

    D)  \[+1.5D\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Power\[=\frac{1}{focal\,\,length\,\,(m)}\] From lens formula                 \[\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}\] Given,   \[v=-1000\,\,cm,\,\,u=-40\,\,cm\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{1}{f}=-\frac{1}{100}-\frac{1}{-40}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{1}{f}=-\frac{1}{100}+\frac{1}{40}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{1}{f}=\frac{-1+2.5}{100}=\frac{1.5}{100}\] Hence, power of lens is                 \[P=\frac{100}{f(cm)}=100\times \frac{1.5}{100}=1.5\,\,D\]
