If the focal length of a magnifier is 5 cm, calculate (a) the power of the lens (b) the magnifying power of the lens for relaxed and strained eye.

Answer»

SOLUTION :(a) As power of a LENS is reciprocal of focal LENGTH in m,
`P=1/((5xx10^(-2)m))=1/0.05` dioptre = 20D
(b) For relaxed eye, MP is minimum and will be
MP = `D/f=25/5=5`
While for strained eye, MP is MAXIMUM and will be
MP = `1+D/f=1+5=6`
