How is the sign (+ or -) of power of a lens related to its divergent or convergent action?
Advertisements
उत्तर
The sign of power depends on the direction in which a light ray is deviated by the lens. The power could be positive or negative. If a lens deviates a ray towards its centre (converges), the power is positive and if it deviates the ray away from its centre (diverges), the power is negative.
