    Power of a thin lens in a medium is 1/fₘ or μₘ/fₘ ?

    Well no... And now that I think of it I am confused once again.

    Power of a thin lens in a medium is 1/fₘ or μₘ/fₘ ?

    That's what I initially thought, But my teacher as well as the solution to the question asked in the entrance all seemed to disagree. But I satisfied myself by the argument I gave here https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/power-of-a-thin-lens-in-a-medium-is-1-f-or-m-f.1082649/#post-7285050

    Thank you all the same for I got my answer from the general formula you provided.

    Power of a thin lens in a medium is 1/fₘ or μₘ/fₘ ?

    Well that did give me the answer. Thanks a lot. I was still not happy as to why the 'power' which I feel is a property of lens alone must depend on μ in addition to the fact that power depends on focal length which itself depends on μ. Power is essentially a measure of how much a lens can...

    Power of a thin lens in a medium is 1/fₘ or μₘ/fₘ ?

    Here is what I tried This question was actually asked in one of our engineering entrances. The answer was 1D. My teachers say that we have to use μₘ/fₘ to get to this answer. I cannot understand why. I'll be really glad if you could tell me the exact definition of power (numerically) that...
