A convex lens of refractive index \(1.5\) and focal length \(18 cm\) in air is immersed in water. The change in focal length of the lens will be \(...........cm\).\(\left(\right.\) Given refractive index of water \(\left.=\frac{4}{3}\right)\)

  1. A \(55\)
  2. B \(53\)
  3. C \(54\)
  4. D \(52\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(54\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{ I }{ f _{ H _2 O }}=\left(\frac{\mu_{ g }}{\mu_{ H _2 O }}-1\right)\left(\frac{2}{ R }\right)\) \(=\frac{1}{8}\left(\frac{2}{ R }\right)\) \(=\frac{1}{\left(4 f _{\text {air }}\right)}\) So, \(f _{ H _2 O }=4 f _{ air }=72\,cm\) So change in focal length…
