The two surfaces of a concave lens, made of glass of refractive index 1.5 have the same radii of curvature \(R\). It is now immersed in a medium of refractive index 1.75 , then the lens

  1. A becomes a convergent lens of focal length \(3.5 R\)
  2. B becomes a convergent lens of focal length \(3.0 R\)
  3. C changes as a divergent lens of focal length \(3.5 R\)
  4. D changes as a divergent lens of focal length \(3.0 R\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) becomes a convergent lens of focal length \(3.5 R\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From lens maker's formula \( \frac{1}{f}=\left({ }_g^m \mu-1\right)\left(\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}\right) \) Now, \(\quad{ }_g^m \mu=\frac{g \mu}{{ }_m \mu}=\frac{1.5}{1.75}\) For concave lens as shown in the figure, in this case \( R_1=-R \text { and } R_2=+R \)…
