The refractive index of a converging lens is \(1.4.\) What will be the focal length of this lens if it is placed in a medium of same refractive index ? (Assume the radii of curvature of the faces of lens are \(R _{1}\) and \(R _{2}\) respectively)

  1. A \(1\)
  2. B Infinite
  3. C \(\frac{ R _{1} R _{2}}{ R _{1}- R _{2}}\)
  4. D Zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Infinite

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{1}{ F }=\left[\frac{\mu_{ L }}{\mu_{ S }}-1\right]\left[\frac{1}{ R _{1}}-\frac{1}{ R _{2}}\right]\) If \(\mu_{ L }=\mu_{ S } \Rightarrow \frac{1}{ F }=0 \Rightarrow F =\infty\)
