A doctor has prescribed a corrective lens of power, -1.5D. Find the focal length of the lens. Is the prescribed lens diverging or converging?

$\text{P}=-1.5\text{D}$$\text{P}=\frac{1}{\text{f}}$
$\text{f}=\frac{1}{\text{P}}=\frac{1}{(-0.5)}=-0.66\text{m}=-66.6\text{m}$
Since focal length is negative, it is a diverging lens.

Draw a ray diagram to show the path of the reflected ray corresponding to an incident ray which is directed towards the principal focus of a convex. mirror. Mark on it the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection.
Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of a real diminished image of an object by a convex lens. In your diagram, the position of object and image with respect to the principal focus should be shown clearly.
In an experiment with a rectangular glass slab, a student observed that a ray of light incident at an angle of $55^{\circ}$ with the normal on one face of the slab, after refraction strikes the opposite face of the slab before emerging out into air making an angle of $40^{\circ}$ with the normal. Draw a labelled diagram to show the path of this ray.' What value would you assign to the angle of refraction and angle of emergence?
If the image formed by a spherical mirror for all positions of the object placed in front of it is always erect and diminished, what type of mirror is it? Draw a labelled ray diagram to support your answer.
