Question:

Radii of curvature of a convex lens are 20 cm and 30 cm and its focal length if 24 cm. Refractive index of the lens will be

Options:

1.33

1.5

1.71

None of these

Correct Answer:

1.5

Explanation:

As $\frac{1}{f}=(μ-1)(\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_1})$

$∴\frac{1}{24}=(μ-1)(\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{-30})=\frac{(μ-1)}{12}⇒μ=1.5$
