Power of lens Is the degree of convergence and divergence provided by a lens and its unit is Diopter (D).
The focal length of the lens used by the first student is in positive so it is a convex lens. The lens used by the second student is a concave lens.
p=1/f
p=1/0.5
p=2
The power of lens used by 1st student =+2
The power of lens used by 2nd student = -2
