Diameter of a plano-convex lens is \(6 \,cm\) and thickness at the centre is \(3\, mm\). If the speed of light in the material of the lens is \(2  \times  10^8 m/sec\), the focal length of the lens is.......\(cm\)

  1. A \(15 \)
  2. B \(20\)
  3. C \(30\)
  4. D \(10\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(30\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to lens formula \(\frac{1}{f} = (\mu - 1)\left[ {\frac{1}{{{R_1}}} - \frac{1}{{{R_2}}}} \right]\) The lens is plano-convex i.e., \({R_1} = R\) and \({R_2} = \infty \) Hence \(\frac{1}{f} = \frac{{\mu - 1}}{R} \Rightarrow f = \frac{R}{{\mu - 1}}\) Speed of light in…
