Question:

The focal length of a double convex lens is equal to the radius of curvature of either surface. The refractive index of its material is;

Options:

0.5

1

1.5

2

Correct Answer:

1.5

Explanation:

1/f = (µ-1) (1/r1 + 1/r2)

For this case r1 = r2 = f

1/r = (µ-1)(1/r+1/r)

u-1= (1/r)/(1/r+1/r)

      =1/2

µ(refractive index)    = 1+1/2 = 3/2 = 1.5
