A symmetric double convex lens is cut in two equal parts by a plane perpendicular to the principal axis . If the power of the original lens was 4D , the power of a cut lens will be

For a double convex lens f 1 = ( μ − 1 ) ( R 1 1 − R 2 1 ) Where:
f is the focal length of the double convex lens, μ is the relative refractive index, R 1 is the radius of curvature of the side which is in direction of the incident ray and R 2 is the radius of curvature of the side which is in direction opposite to that of the incident ray.
