Solution

The correct option is D +3.33 D
We know that, if rays are parallel to the principal axis, object is at infinite distance and image formed is at focal point.

For spherical convex surface, using
μ2vμ1u=μ2μ1R



43f1.0=43110

f=40 cm or 0.4 m

Since the rays are converging, its power should be positive.

we know that, Refracting power of spherical surface is defined as the reciprocal of the reduced focal length.

Power of refracting surface, P=μ2f
P=4/30.4=+3.33 D

Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
