best_answer

Using the formula, $$
\text { Power }= \frac{100}f
$$

where, P = Power of the lens (in diopters, D) and f = Focal length (in cm)

Given data- Focal length = 25 cm

Putting the values in the formula, $$
\text { Power }= \frac{100}{25} = 4D
$$

Therefore, the power of the convex lens is +4 diopters (D). The positive sign indicates that it is a convex (converging) lens.
