The correct answer is - 4 D.

Key Points

  • A beam of light after passing through a concave lens appears to diverge from a point 25 cm behind the lens then power of the lens is -4 D
  • If the focal length is specified in metres, the lens's power is calculated in diopters (D).
  • A diverging lens has a negative optical power, whereas a converging lens has a positive optical power. 

Additional Information

  • When a parallel beam is incident on a concave lens after refraction through the lens, it seems to deviate from the lens's focus.
  • Consequently, the lens's focal length is 25 cm and the focal length of a concave lens is negative by sign convention.
