Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, refractive index of lens, \(\mu_g=1.5\) Refractive index of medium, \(\mu_m=1.6\) Power of lens, \(P=-5 \mathrm{D}\) Focal length of lens, \(f_l=\frac{1}{-5} \mathrm{~m}=-20 \mathrm{~cm}\) From lens maker formula, we have…
