उत्तर
2 D
The lens is cut into two equal parts by a plane perpendicular to the principal axis. Thus, the radius of curvature of both the lenses become half of its original value.
As,
\[f = \frac{R}{2}\]
\[P = \frac{1}{f}\]
Radius of curvature becomes half. Therefore, the focal also
reduces to half its original value.
Thus, the power (P) of the two cut-lenses will be equal.
2 P = 4 D
P = 2 D
