8 Basics of Optics Calculators

Power of Lens using Distance Rule
Go Power of Lens = Power of First Lens+Power of Second Lens-Width of Lens*Power of First Lens*Power of Second Lens
Angle of Deviation
Go Angle of Deviation = Angle of Incidence+Angle of Emergence-Angle of Prism
Angle of Emergence
Go Angle of Emergence = Angle of Prism+Angle of Deviation-Angle of Incidence
Angle of Incidence
Go Angle of Incidence = Angle of Deviation+Angle of Prism-Angle of Emergence
Angle of Prism
Go Angle of Prism = Angle of Incidence+Angle of Emergence-Angle of Deviation
Angle of Deviation in Dispersion
Go Angle of Deviation = (Coefficient of Refraction-1)*Angle of Prism
Number of Images in Kaleidoscope
Go Number of Images = ((2*pi)/Angle between Mirrors)-1
Power of Lens
Go Power of First Lens = 1/Focal Length 1

Power of Lens Formula

Power of First Lens = 1/Focal Length 1
P1 = 1/f1

What is Power?

The power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of the focal length. Lens power is measured in dioptre (D). Converging (convex ) lenses have positive focal lengths, so they also have positive power values. Diverging (concave ) lenses have negative focal lengths, so they also have negative power values.

How to Calculate Power of Lens?

Power of Lens calculator uses Power of First Lens = 1/Focal Length 1 to calculate the Power of First Lens, Power of Lens is the reciprocal of the focal length of the lens , where D is the power in diopters and f is the focal length in meters. Lens surface power can be found with the index of refraction and radius of curvature. Power of First Lens is denoted by P1 symbol.

How to calculate Power of Lens using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Power of Lens, enter Focal Length 1 (f1) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Power of Lens calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2.5 = 1/0.4.
