A doctor has prescribed a corrective lens of power +1.5 D. Find the focal length of the lens. Is the prescribed lens diverging or converging?

Power of lens (P) = 1/focal length [f (in m)]

P = 1.5D

f = 1/1.5 = 10/15 = 0.66 m

A convex lens has a positive focal length.

Therefore, it is a convex lens or a converging lens.
