Question:

A double convex lens of focal length 20 cm is made of glass of refractive index 3/2. When placed completely in water $({_aμ}_w= 4 / 3)$, its focal length will be

Options:

80 cm

15 cm

17.7 cm

22.5 cm

Correct Answer:

80 cm

Explanation:

$\frac{f_w}{f_a}=\frac{(μ_g-1)}{\frac{μ_g}{μ_w}-1}⇒\frac{f_w}{f_a}=4$

$∴f_w=4×f_a=4×20=80cm$
