Question
A person got his eyes tested by an optician. The prescription for the spectacle lenses to be made reads :
Left eye : +2.50 D
Right eye : +2.00 D
Which lens bends the light rays more strongly?
Solution
Power is inversely proportional to focal length; therefore, shorter focal length will mean strong bending. Hence, lens for left eye will bend light rays more strongly.
