A convex lens made of glass (refractive index \(=1.5\) ) has focal length 24 cm in air. When it is totally immersed in water (refractive index \(=1.33\) ), its focal length changes to ________.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 96 cm
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{aligned}
& \frac{1}{8}=\left(\frac{\mu_{\ell}}{\mu_{\mathrm{s}}}-1\right)\left[\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_1}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_2}\right] \\
& \frac{1}{24}=(1.5-1)\left[\frac{2}{\mathrm{R}}\right] ...(i)\\
& \frac{1}{\mathrm{f}^{\prime}}=\left(\frac{1.5}{1.33}-1\right)\left(\frac{2}{\mathrm{R}}\right) \\
& \frac{1}{\mathrm{f}^{\prime}}=\left(\frac{1.5 \times 3}{4}-1\right) \frac{2}{\mathrm{R}}...(ii)
\end{aligned}\)
(i) divided by (ii)
\(\begin{aligned}
& \frac{\mathrm{f}^{\prime}}{24}=4 \\
& \mathrm{f}^{\prime}=96 \mathrm{~cm}
\end{aligned}\)
& \frac{1}{8}=\left(\frac{\mu_{\ell}}{\mu_{\mathrm{s}}}-1\right)\left[\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_1}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_2}\right] \\
& \frac{1}{24}=(1.5-1)\left[\frac{2}{\mathrm{R}}\right] ...(i)\\
& \frac{1}{\mathrm{f}^{\prime}}=\left(\frac{1.5}{1.33}-1\right)\left(\frac{2}{\mathrm{R}}\right) \\
& \frac{1}{\mathrm{f}^{\prime}}=\left(\frac{1.5 \times 3}{4}-1\right) \frac{2}{\mathrm{R}}...(ii)
\end{aligned}\)
(i) divided by (ii)
\(\begin{aligned}
& \frac{\mathrm{f}^{\prime}}{24}=4 \\
& \mathrm{f}^{\prime}=96 \mathrm{~cm}
\end{aligned}\)
