A lensometer is a device used to measure the power of eyeglass lenses. It works by focusing a target image within the lens being measured, then measuring the position of the target image to determine the lens power in diopters. The lensometer uses markings and scales to calculate the prescription of the lens.

How do you use the lensometer or lens clock for finding the refractive index of a lens?

The formula for calculating a lens' refractive power is as follows:n = (D * R) + 1, where n = refractive power, D = optical power in diopter, and R = lens curvature radius.A lens clock will give you an estimated optical power, d and from there you can work out the curvature radius by using the formula:R = (0.53)/d.A lensometer will give you the actual optical power, D.Input the R and D into the first formula and you will get the lens' refractive index, n.


How can you determine the curvature and Refractive Index of spectacle glass?

The curvature of spectacle glass can be determined using a lensometer, which measures the curvature of the lens surface. The refractive index of spectacle glass can be determined by analyzing the way light passes through the lens and using equations that relate angles of light refraction to the refractive index of the material.
