The focal length of a lens is +0.50m. The power of the lens and type are: 1) +2.0D and convex lens, 2) -0.2D concave lens, 3) -2.0D and concave lens, 4) -2.0D and convex lens.

Thin Lenses: A convex lens has focal length f Ifan object is placed at a distance of 2 f from the lens on the principal axis, the image is located at a distance from the lens of infinity: between f and 2f. of f. between the lens and f of 2f.

Broadly, lenses are of the following types: Biconvex lens Equiconvex lens Plano convex lens Concavo convex lens Biconcave lens Equiconcave lens Plano concave lens Convexo concave lens You are designing a thin lens for use in a pair of glasses. You wish to design a Biconcave lens as shown in the figure. Using the data given below, determine the focal length (in cm) of the lens. Include negative signs as appropriate. (For example, if the lens is converging, your answer should be positive. If the lens is diverging, your answer should be negative.) R1 = 4.702 cm R2 = 1.862 cm n = 2.294
