An equiconvex lens has a focal length of 20 cm and its radius of curvature is 30 cm. Its refractive index is :

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\text { 7/4 }\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{1}{f} = (\mu - 1) \left( \frac{2}{R} \right) \) \( \frac{1}{20} = (\mu - 1) \left( \frac{2}{30} \right) \) \( \frac{1}{20} = (\mu - 1) \left( \frac{1}{15} \right) \) \( \frac{15}{20} = \mu - 1 \) \( \frac{3}{4} = \mu - 1 \) \( \mu = 1 + \frac{3}{4} \)…
