Physics 2015 JAMB Past Questions - Question 36: A thin converging lens has a power of 4.0 diopters. Determine its focal length
Choose the correct answers from the options given.
A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
A
Explanation
To determine the focal length of a lens, we can use the formula:
focal length (in meters) = 1 / power (in diopters)
Given that the power of the lens is 4.0 diopters, we can substitute this value into the formula:
focal length = 1 / 4.0
Calculating this, we find:
focal length = 0.25 meters
Therefore, the focal length of the thin converging lens is 0.25 meters.
