Question:

A double convex lens of focal length 20 cm is made of glass of refractive index 3/2. When placed completely in water a (aµϖ 4/3), its focal length will be

Options:

80 cm

15 cm

17.7 cm

22.5 cm

Correct Answer:

80 cm

Explanation:

$\frac{f_w}{f_a}=\frac{\left(\mu_g-1\right)}{\left(\frac{\mu_g}{\mu_w}-1\right)} \Rightarrow \frac{f_w}{f_a}=4$

∴ fw = 4 × fa = 4 × 20 = 80 cms.
