The radii of curvature of both the 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:

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