The power of a biconvex lens is \(10\) dioptre and the radius of curvature of each surface is \(10 \;cm\). Then the refractive index of the material of the lens is,

  1. A \(\frac{3}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{4}{3}\)
  3. C \(\frac{9}{8}\)
  4. D \(\frac{5}{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{3}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{1}{f}=(\mu-1)\left(\frac{1}{R_{1}}-\frac{1}{R_{2}}\right)\) as \(P=\frac{1}{f(\text { in } m)}\)
