The power of a convex lens with a focal length of 0.2 meters will be +5D. Power (in diopters) of a lens is calculated as the reciprocal of its focal length in meters, so a focal length of 0.2 meters ...

If the power of the lens of an eyeglass is +2 diopters, its focal length will be 50 cm. The focal length of a lens in meters is the reciprocal of its power in diopters.
When a convex lens is immersed in water, its focal length decreases. This is because the refractive index of water is higher than that of air, causing light to bend more sharply, effectively decreasing the lens’s ability to converge light ...
The division of different colors of light in a prism is called dispersion of light. This phenomenon occurs because different wavelengths of light refract at different angles as they pass through the prism, separating into a spectrum of colors from ...
The sun appearing red at sunset is not a result of atmospheric refraction. This phenomenon is caused by scattering. As sunlight passes through more of the Earth’s atmosphere at sunset, shorter wavelengths scatter out, leaving the longer red wavelengths to ...
