Solution
To calculate the power of lens we use the formula:
\(\rm P \) = $\frac{1}{f}$
where \(\rm P\) = Power of lens
and, \(\rm f\) = focal length of lens
For f= 25cm = 0.25m :
\(\rm P \) = $\frac{1}{f}$
\(\rm or,\) \(\rm P\) = $\frac{1}{0.25}$
\(\rm or,\) \(\rm P \) = \(\rm 4\)
Hence, for lens with focal length 25cm power of lens is +4D.
