Hand lens has power 10 D. Calculate how far from the lens must the book be held to read.


1 Answer


Given, 

power = 10 D

focal lengthg = ??

We know , 

formula for focal length is 

f= 1/ P

f = 1/10

f = 0.1 m 

f = 10 cm. 

Therefore the focal length should be or the distance of the book from lens should be 10 cm.
