- The power of a lens is a measure of its ability to converge or diverge light and is the reciprocal of its focal length measured in meters.
- The formula to calculate the power of a lens is:
\( {\text{P}} = \frac{{{\text{1}}}}{{{\text{f}}}}\)
- Where P is the power of lens and
- f is the focal length.
Thus, Unit of power of the lens is Diopter.
