\(\frac{1}{\text{f}}\) = \(\frac{1}{\text{u}}\) + \(\frac{1}{\text{v}}\)
\(\frac{1}{\text{f}}\) = \(\frac{1}{25}\) + \(\frac{1}{-50}\)
u = 25cm, v = - 50cm
\(\frac{1}{\text{f}}\) = \(\frac{1}{u}\) - \(\frac{1}{50}\) = \(\frac{2 - 1}{50}\)
f = 50cm
P = \(\frac{1}{\text{f}}\) = \(\frac{1}{50}\) = 0.02cm. ( in dioptres = 2D)
1D = 1m\(^{-1}\)
