Given that the lens is made of two plano-convex lenses. Let it be L1orL2 .
Let focal length of L1=f1,
An focal length of L2=f2
∴ Using lens maker's formula,
f11=(n1−1)(R1−∞1), and f21=(n2−1)(∞1−(−R)1)
⇒f11=Rn1−1
⇒f21=Rn2−1
Now, for the first situation, given that,
n1=n2=n and focal length of combination is ‘f’
⇒f1=f11+f21=R2(n−1) ....(1)
In the second situation, n1=n,n2=n+\Deltan and focal length= f+\Deltaf
⇒f+\Deltaf1=Rn−1+Rn+\Deltan−1
⇒f+\Deltaf1=R2n+\Deltan−2 .....(2)
Nos dividing equation (1)/(2) we get
ff+\Deltaf=2n+\Deltan−22(n−1)⇒1+f\Deltaf=2n+\Deltan−2(2n−2+\Deltan)−\Deltan
⇒1+f\Deltaf=1−2n+\Deltan−2\Deltan⇒f\Deltaf=2n+\Deltan−2−\Deltan
Now, as ′Δn′ is very small ⇒f\Deltaf=2(n−1)−\Deltan…..(3)
Now, option (A)
n=1.5,\Deltan=10−3andf=20cm
⇒∣\Deltaf∣=2(n−1)f⋅(\Deltan)=2×(1.5−1)20×10−3=0.02cm⇒(A) is correct.
Option (B)
The relation between f\Deltaf or n\Deltan is dependent of ‘R’
⇒ Remain unchanged for convex or concave surfaces
⇒(B) is correct.
Option \left(C\right)<br>Asn < 2 ⇒ 2\left(n - 1\right) < n<br>⇒ \dfrac{\Deltaf}{f} = \dfrac{1}{2}\left|\dfrac{\Deltan}{n - 1}\right| > \dfrac{\Deltan}{n}<br>⇒ \dfrac{\Deltaf}{f} > \dfrac{\Deltan}{n} ⇒ ( C )isincorrect.<br>Option(D)
If n\Deltan<0, then f\Deltaf>0, using equation (3)
⇒(D) is correct.
