Converging or diverging ability of a lens or mirror is called
  1. focal power
  2. focal length
  3. magnifying power
  4. linear magnification

Solution

The converging or diverging ability of a lens or mirror is referred to as its "focal power." Focal power, measured in diopters (D), is the reciprocal of the focal length (in meters). It indicates how strongly the lens or mirror converges (positive focal power) or diverges (negative focal power) light. .
