The radii of curvature of both surfaces of a convex lens of focal length $f$ and focal power $P$ are equal. One of the surfaces is made plane by grinding. The new focal length and focal power of the lens are respectively:

  • A
    $f/2, 2P$
  • B
    $2f, P/2$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2/f}, \sqrt{P/2}$
  • D
    $2f/3, 2P/3$
