Power P = 1/f (in metre). f = 1/P = 1/2 = 0.5 m = 50 cm. Positive power indicates convex lens. For concave lens, power negative. Dioptre (D) is SI unit of power. Remember f in metres.
Explanation:
Rocket propulsion: expelled gases backwards impart forward momentum to rocket. Total momentum of rocket + exhaust gases remains conserved. No external force, so momentum conservation applies. Jet engines also work on similar principle.
