Best Answer

An achromatic lens is one without chromatic distortion (gives no colour fringing). The achromatism has no direct relation to power.

How lens power change with curvature of lens surface?

The lens power increases as the curvature of the lens surface becomes steeper. A lens with a larger radius of curvature will have a lower power, while a lens with a smaller radius of curvature will have a higher power. This relationship is described by the lensmaker's equation, which relates the power of a lens to the refractive index of the lens material and the radii of curvature of its surfaces.
