What is the SI unit of power of a lens?(a) Watts(b) Unit less(c) Diopter(d) JouleI got this question in quiz.I'd like to ask this question from Ray Optics topic in chapter Ray Optics and Optical Instruments of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Correct answer is (c) DIOPTER

To elaborate: The power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of its FOCAL length in meters. The expression is given as:

P = \(\FRAC {1}{f}\)

Where P is the power and f is the focal length in meters. Lens SURFACE power can be found with the index of refraction and the radius of CURVATURE. The SI unit of power of a lens is diopter.
