The focal length of a thin converging lens in air is 20 cm . When the lens is immersed in a liquid, it behaves like a concave lens of power 1 D . If the refractive index of the material of the lens is 1.5 , the refractive index of the liquid is

  1. A \(\frac{5}{3}\)
  2. B \(\frac{4}{3}\)
  3. C \(\frac{5}{4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{7}{4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{5}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In air, \(\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}_1}=\left(\mu_2-1\right)\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_1}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_2}\right)\ldots\) (i) In medium, \(P_2=-1 D \Rightarrow f_2=\frac{100}{P_2} \mathrm{~cm}=-100 \mathrm{~cm}\)…
