A convex lens of focal length 24 cm (mu = 1.5) is totally immersed in water (mu = 1.33). Find its focal length in water.

Answer»

SOLUTION :`(1)/(F)=(mu-1) ((1)/(R_1)-(1)/(R_2))`
WHENTHE LENSIS in AIR ,
` (1)/(24 cm) = (1.5-1) ((1)/(R_1)-(1)/(R_2))` …(i)
whenthe lensis inwater
`(1)/(f) = ((1.5 )/(1.33)-1) ((1)/(R_1)-(1)/(R_2))`….(ii)
Dividingthe expression(i) by (ii), weget
`(f)/(24 cm) = (0.5 )/( 0.125 )`
`f=96 cm`
