What is the relationship between the optical power of a lens and its focal length?.

Model answer

What a good answer should say

  • The optical power (P) of a lens is inversely related to its focal length (f).
  • This relationship is given by the formula P = 1/f, where P is measured in diopters (D) and f is in meters (m).

Explanation

Why this works

This question tests the understanding of the fundamental relationship between optical power and focal length, which is crucial in optics. A strong answer correctly identifies the formula and explains the inverse relationship.
