    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) \[~-1.5\text{ }D\]         

    D) \[4-1.5\text{ }D\]

    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, \[v=-100\,cm,\,u=-40\,cm\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{1}{f}=-\frac{1}{100}-\frac{1}{-40}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{1}{f}=-\frac{1}{100}+\frac{1}{40}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{1}{f}=\frac{-1+2.5}{100}=\frac{1.5}{100}\] Hence, power of lens is \[P=\frac{100}{f(cm)}=100\times \frac{1.5}{100}=1.5\,D\]
