Assertion: A double convex lens (( =1.5) ) has focal length (10 ~cm ). When the lens is immersed in water (( =4 / 3) ) its focal length becomes (77 ~cm ). Reason : ( 1 f = _g- _w _w ( 1 R₁ - 1 R₂ ) )
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
Step-by-step solution
aligned & 1 f = ( ^a _g-1 ) [ 1 R₁ - 1 R₂ ] & = ( _g _w -1 ) ( 1 R₁ - 1 R₂ ) & 1 f = ( _g- _w _w ) [ 1 R₁ - 1 R₂ ] & = ( 1.5-1.33 1.33 ) [ 1 20 + 1 20 ] & 1 f = 0.13 2 20 f= 20 0.26 & f=76.92 ~cm . & aligned
