Find the change in the focal lengthof the lens, if a convex lens of focal length `20cm` and refractive index `1.5`, is immersed in water having refractive index `1.33`.A. `62.2cm`B. `5.82cm`C. `58.2cm`D. `6.22cm` |
Answer» (c) When the lens is in air `1/(f_(a))=(mu-1)(1/(R_(1))-1/(R_(2)))` `1/20=(1.5-1)(1/(R_(1))-1/(R_(2)))` or `(1/(R_(1))-1/(R_(2)))=1/10` When lens is in water `1/(f_(w))=((mu_(g)-mu_(w))/(mu_(w)))(1/(R_(1))-1/(R_(2)))=((1.5-1.33)/1.33)xx1/10` `f_(w)=78.2cm` The change in focal length`=78.2-20=58.2cm` |
