Question

A thin equiconvex glass lens of refractive index 1 5 has power
of 5D When the lens is immersed in a liquid of refractive index "s"
it acts as divergent lens of focal length 10ocm the value if "s"
is??

Kartiki · Answer

According to Lensmaker’s formula, the focal length for a
convex lens placed in air can be obtained as
1/f = [(n2/n1) – 1] (1/R1
– 1/R2) where P = 1/f =5 and n2 = 1 5,
n­1=1
Therefore 5= (1 5 -1) (1/R1 – 1/R2)
= 0 5(1/R1 – 1/R2)
1/f s= [(n2/ns) – 1]
(1/R1 – 1/R2) where P = 1/fs
=1/1m =1 and n2 = 1 5, n­1=s
Taking ratio of the above two equation and simplifying ,
s = 1 67
