Determine the optical power of the converging lens if the distance from the lens

Determine the optical power of the converging lens if the distance from the lens to the object is 10 cm, and the distance from the lens to the image is 25 cm.

Task data: d (distance from the taken collecting lens to the object) = 10 cm (in SI d = 0.1 m); f (distance from the taken collecting lens to the image of the object) = 25 cm (in SI f = 0.25 m).

The optical power of the taken collecting lens is calculated by the formula: D = 1 / f + 1 / d.

Let’s calculate: D = 1 / 0.25 + 1 / 0.1 = 14 diopters.

Answer: The optical power of the taken collecting lens is 14 diopters.
