Answer:

By reducing the focal length

Step-by-step explanation:

The power of a lens is inversely proportional to its focal length.

Mathematically, this relation can be written as


P = (1)/(f)

Where, "P" represents power and "f" represents focal length. As per this relationship, the power will increase with the decrease of focal length.

Power is basically the measurement of refractive power of a lens. The refractive strength of a lens increases with the decrease in focal length.
