Question:

For fixed values of radii of curvature of lens, power of the lens will be _________.

Fill in the blank with the correct answer from the options given below.

Options:

$P \propto(\mu-1)$

$P \propto \mu^2$

$P \propto 1 / \mu$

$P \propto \mu^{-2}$

Correct Answer:

$P \propto(\mu-1)$

Explanation:

$ \frac{1}{F} = (\mu -1) (\frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2})$

since radius of curvature is fixed hence $ P = \frac{1}{F} \propto (\mu - 1)$

The correct answer is Option (1) → $P \propto(\mu-1)$
