A lens is made of glass having an index of refraction 1.5. One side of the lens is flat and the other side is convex with a radius R. If an object is placed 60cm, towards the convex side of the lens, the image is formed at 120cmon the other side of the lens. The value of R is

  1. A 20cm
  2. B 403cm
  3. C 33cm
  4. D 18cm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 20cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using lens maker's formula, 1f=μ2μ1-11R1-1R2⇒1f=121R⇒f=2R Now using lens equation, 1v-1u=1f⇒1120-1-60=12R⇒2R=40 cm⇒R=20 cm
