A biconvex lens has radii of curvature of 10 cm each. If the refractive index of the material of the lens is 1.5, what will be its focal length in air ?

  1. A 5 cm
  2. B 10 cm
  3. C 20 cm
  4. D \( \infty \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 10 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{1}{f} = (n - 1) \left( \frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2} \right) \) \( \frac{1}{f} = (1.5 - 1) \left( \frac{1}{10 \text{ cm}} - \frac{1}{-10 \text{ cm}} \right) \) \( \frac{1}{f} = (0.5) \left( \frac{2}{10 \text{ cm}} \right) = \frac{1}{10 \text{ cm}} \)…
