Detailed Solution

The nature of the lens is concave.
It is known that the power of a lens is the reciprocal of the focal length of the lens. Mathematically,
P=1f
Where f is the focal length of the lens.
From the above relation, it can be said that the power is negative because the focal length is negative. Also, the concave lenses have a negative focal length. Hence, it can be said that the lens is concave as it has negative power.
