Question
A symmetric double convex lens is cut in two equal parts by a plane containing the principal axis. If the power of the original lens was 4 D, the power of a divided lens will be
Options
2 D
3 D
4 D
5 D.

Solution
4 D
As the lens is cut along the principal axis, the two new lens will act as two double convex lenses. Even after cutting the lens, the radius of the curvature of the two new lens will remain the same as that of the original lens, with the power equal to the original lens.

| 4 | Myopia | d | Screen of the eye |
| 5 | Hypermetropia | e | Power of accommodation |
Assertion and reasoning type
- Assertion: Myopia is due to the increase in the converging power of eye lens.
- Reason: Myopia can be corrected with the help of concave lens.
