The distance from the centre of the lens to the focal point.
Power is inversely related to the focal length. So convex lens of focal length 20 cm has less power compared to that having focal length 10 cm
to determine the focal length of a convex mirror.
its focal lenght becomes 2f
The focal length of a lens is the distance from the center of the lens to the point at which it focuses light rays. The bigger the focal length, the more powerful the lens. ChaCha!
The lens in a door peephole is a convex lens with a very short focal length, giving it a wide field of view. If it were on a camera, it would be called a "Fisheye lens".
It is called the focal length. It is equal to 1/2 times r, and is positive on concave mirrors and negative on convex mirrors.
convex lens
The focal point F and focal length f of a positive (convex) lens, a negative (concave) lens, a concave mirror, and a convex mirror. The focal length of an optical system is a measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light.
Convert the focal length to meters, then take the reciprocal. That is how the "power" of a lens is calculated.
If you shine a parallel (ie unfocussed) beam of light perpendicular to a convex lens it will focus to a point on the other side. That place is called the focal point of the lens. Its distance to the lens is called the focal length.
