Optics 3 Question 21

21. A concave lens of glass, refractive index 1.5 has both surfaces of same radius of curvature R. On immersion in a medium of refractive index 1.75 , it will behave as a

(a) convergent lens of focal length 3.5R

(1999,2M)

(b) convergent lens of focal length 3.0R

(c) divergent lens of focal length 3.5R

(d) divergent lens of focal length 3.0R

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 21. (a)

Solution:

  1. R1=R,R2=+R,μg=1.5 and μm=1.75

1f=μgμm11R11R2

Substituting the values, we have

1f=1.51.7511R1R=13.5Rf=+3.5R

Therefore, in the medium it will behave like a convergent lens of focal length 3.5R. It can be understood as, μm>μg, the lens will change its behaviour.
