Solution 1
Power of a lens is defined as the ability of a lens to bend the rays of light. It is given by the reciprocal of focal length in metre.
Solution 2
The power of a lens is a measure of the deviation produced by it in the path of rays refracted through it.

Consider three converging lenses L1, L2 and L3 having identical geometrical construction. The index of refraction of L1 and L2 are \[\mu_1 \text{ and } \mu_2\] respectively. The upper half of the lens L3 has a refractive index \[\mu_1\] and the lower half has \[\mu_2\] following figure . A point object O is imaged at O1 by the lens L1 and at O2 by the lens L2placed in same position. If L3 is placed at the same place,
