A convex lens of refractive index has a power of in air. If it is placed in a liquid of refractive index 2 , then the new power of the lens is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Focal length of a convex lens having power
Also focal length of a lens in a medium of refractive index is given by
\left(\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}\right)2.5 \frac{0.5}{-0.25}
\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f^{\prime}}=\frac{-5}{25 \times 0.25}=-1.25 \mathrm{D}
