A plano convex lens is made of material having refractive index 1.8. If the radius of curvature of the curved surface is 80 cm, then focal length of the lens is: |
100 cm 50 cm 180 cm 144 cm |
100 cm |
The correct answer is Option (1) → 100 cm Using Len's maker formula, $\frac{1}{F} = (\mu -1)\left(\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}\right)$ [μ = Refractive index] [f = focal length] $= (1.8-1)\left(\frac{1}{80}-\frac{1}{\infty}\right)$ $=0.8×\frac{1}{80}=\frac{1}{100}$ $\Rightarrow f = 100cm$ |
