A diverging lens of glass (\( \mu = 1.5 \)) has both surfaces of the same radius of curvature (R). On immersion in a medium of refractive index (\( \mu = 1.8 \)), it will behave as:

  1. A diverging lens with focal length f = 3R
  2. B diverging lens with focal length f = 0.3R
  3. C Converging lens with focal length f = 3R
  4. D Converging lens with focal length f = 6R
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Converging lens with focal length f = 3R

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{1}{f} = (\frac{\mu_l}{\mu_m} - 1) (\frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2}) \) \( \frac{1}{f} = (\frac{1.5}{1.8} - 1) (\frac{1}{-R} - \frac{1}{R}) \) \( \frac{1}{f} = (-\frac{1}{6}) (-\frac{2}{R}) \) \( \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{3R} \) \( f = 3R \) Converging lens with focal length…
