  1. A 1 m
  2. B 0.5 m
  3. C 2 m
  4. D 0.25 m
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1 m

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{1}{f} = (n - 1) \left( \frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2} \right) \) \( \frac{1}{f} = (1.5 - 1) \left( \frac{1}{0.5 \text{ m}} - \frac{1}{\infty} \right) \) \( \frac{1}{f} = 0.5 \left( \frac{1}{0.5 \text{ m}} \right) = 1 \text{ m}^{-1} \) \( f = 1 \text{ m} \)
