Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the focal length of a concave lens with a focal point at -15 cm?
Correct Answer: -15 cm
  • Step 1: Understand that a concave lens is a type of lens that diverges light rays.
  • Step 2: Know that the focal point of a lens is where light rays either converge or appear to diverge from.
  • Step 3: Remember that for concave lenses, the focal length is always considered negative.
  • Step 4: Since the focal point is given as -15 cm, this means the focal length is also -15 cm.
