A point object in air is in front of the curved surface of a plano-convex lens. The radius of curvature of the curved surface is \(30 \;\mathrm{cm}\) and the refractive index of the lens material is \(1.5 .\) then the focal length of the lens (in \(\mathrm{cm}\) ) is

  1. A \(58\)
  2. B \(62\)
  3. C \(60\)
  4. D \(67\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(60\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using Lens-Maker's formula \(\frac{1}{f}=(\mu-1)\left(\frac{1}{R_{1}}-\frac{1}{R_{2}}\right)\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}=(1.5-1)\left(\frac{1}{30}-0\right)\) \(\mathrm{f}=60 \mathrm{cm}\)
