The radii of curvature of a double convex lens are 4 cm and 8 cm . If the refractive index of the material of the lens is 1 . 5 , the focal length of the lens is nearly
Options
- A16   cm
- B12 . 11   cm
- C7 . 33   cm
- D5 . 33   cm
Correct answer
D. 5 . 33   cm
Step-by-step solution
From Lens maker's formula, 1 f = μ 2 μ 1 - 1 1 R 1 - 1 R 2 ⇒ 1 f = 1 . 5 1 - 1 1 0 . 04 - 1 - 0 . 08 ⇒ f = 5 . 33   cm
