Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B)  \(-160 \mathrm{~cm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \mu_1=1.5 \)

\( \mu_{\mathrm{m}}=1.6 \)

\( \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{a}}=20 \mathrm{~cm}\)

\( \text { As } \frac{f_m}{f_a}=\frac{\left(\mu_1-1\right) \mu_m}{\left(\mu_1-\mu_m\right)} \)

\( \frac{f_m}{20}=\frac{(1.5-1) 1.6}{(1.5-1.6)} \)

\( f_m=-160 \mathrm{~cm}\)
