A Convex lens having a power of one dioptre is made of glass having refractive index 1.48. What will be the power of convex lens made of material with refractive index 1.6 and same dimension

  1. A 1.2 D
  2. B 1.25 D
  3. C 1.4 D
  4. D 1.6 D
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1.25 D

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( P_2 = P_1 \frac{n_2-1}{n_1-1} \) \( P_2 = 1 \text{ D} \times \frac{1.6-1}{1.48-1} \) \( P_2 = 1 \text{ D} \times \frac{0.6}{0.48} \) \( P_2 = 1.25 \text{ D} \)
