28. A double convex lens has focal length $25 cm$. The radius of curvature of one of the surfaces is double of the other. Find the radii if the refractive index of the material of the lens is 1.5.

[NEET Odisha 2019]

(a) $50 cm, 100 cm$

(b) $100 cm, 50 cm$

(c) $25 cm, 50 cm$

(d) $18.75 cm, 37.5 cm$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 28. (d)

Solution:

(d) $\frac{1}{f}=(\mu-1)(\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2})$

$\frac{1}{25}=(1.5-1)(\frac{1}{R}+\frac{1}{2 R}) \frac{1}{25}=0.5(\frac{3}{2 R})$

$2 R=37.5 cm \quad R=18.75 cm$
