A 1.00 D lens will refract light rays to a focus of how many meters from the lens?

Explanation:
The essential idea is that a lens’s optical power (in diopters) is the reciprocal of its focal length in meters: P = 1/f. So a 1.00 diopter lens has a focal length of f = 1/1.00 = 1 meter. Light rays that are brought to a focus by the lens will therefore converge 1 meter away from the lens. Distances like 0.5 meter or 2 meters would require different powers (2.0 D or 0.5 D, respectively), but with a 1.00 D lens, the focus is at 1 meter.
