29. A lens is aportion of a transparent medium bound¢d bytwosurfaces

and one of these surfaces is essentially spherical. It is sed to converge or
diverge the light incident on it. Power ofa lens is the ineasure of its ability
to converge or diverge the light incident on it. Power Vf a lens depends on
the refractive index of the material of lens with respec to the surrounding
medium and the radii of curvature of its two surfaces.
