A. convex lens of focal length 40 cm
B. concave lens of focal length 25 cm
C. concave lens of focal length 40 cm
D. convex lens of focal length 2.5 m
A. convex lens of focal length 40 cm
B. concave lens of focal length 25 cm
C. concave lens of focal length 40 cm
D. convex lens of focal length 2.5 m
Best answer
Answer: C. concave lens of focal length 40 cm
\(f = \frac{1}{P} = \frac{1}{-2.5} = -0.4\) m \(= -40\) cm. A negative power means a concave lens.
