Step-by-step solution

Given that the lens is made of two plano-convex lenses. Let it be L1orL2{L}_{1} or {L}_{2} .
A thin convex lens is made of two materials with refractive indices n _ 1 and n _ 2 , as shown in figure. The radius of
Let focal length of L1=f1,{L}_{1} = {f}_{1},
An focal length of L2=f2{L}_{2} = {f}_{2}
∴∴ Using lens maker's formula,
1f1=(n1−1)(1R−1∞),\dfrac{1}{{f}_{1}} = \left({n}_{1} - 1\right)\left(\dfrac{1}{R} - \dfrac{1}{\infty}\right), and 1f2=(n2−1)(1∞−1(−R))\dfrac{1}{{f}_{2}} = \left({n}_{2} - 1\right)\left(\dfrac{1}{\infty} - \dfrac{1}{\left(- R\right)}\right)
⇒1f1=n1−1R⇒ \dfrac{1}{{f}_{1}} = \dfrac{{n}_{1} - 1}{R}
⇒1f2=n2−1R⇒ \dfrac{1}{{f}_{2}} = \dfrac{{n}_{2} - 1}{R}
Now, for the first situation, given that,
n1=n2=n{n}_{1} = {n}_{2} = n and focal length of combination is ‘f’‘f’
⇒1f=1f1+1f2=2(n−1)R⇒ \dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{{f}_{1}} + \dfrac{1}{{f}_{2}} = \dfrac{2\left(n - 1\right)}{R} ....(1)
In the second situation, n1=n,n2=n+\Deltan{n}_{1} = n, {n}_{2} = n + \Deltan and focal length= f+\Deltaff + \Deltaf
⇒1f+\Deltaf=n−1R+n+\Deltan⁡−1R⇒ \dfrac{1}{f + \Deltaf} = \dfrac{n - 1}{R} + \dfrac{n + \Del\tan^{-1}}{R}
⇒1f+\Deltaf=2n+\Deltan−2R⇒ \dfrac{1}{f + \Deltaf} = \dfrac{2n + \Deltan - 2}{R} .....(2)
Nos dividing equation (1)/(2) we get
f+\Deltaff=2(n−1)2n+\Deltan−2⇒1+\Deltaff=(2n−2+\Deltan)−\Deltan2n+\Deltan−2\dfrac{f + \Deltaf}{f} = \dfrac{2\left(n - 1\right)}{2n + \Deltan - 2} ⇒ 1 + \dfrac{\Deltaf}{f} = \dfrac{\left(2n - 2 + \Deltan\right) - \Deltan}{2n + \Deltan - 2}
⇒1+\Deltaff=1−\Deltan2n+\Deltan−2⇒\Deltaff=−\Deltan2n+\Deltan−2⇒ 1 + \dfrac{\Deltaf}{f} = 1 - \dfrac{\Deltan}{2n + \Deltan - 2} ⇒ \dfrac{\Deltaf}{f} = \dfrac{- \Deltan}{2n + \Deltan - 2}
Now, as ′Δn′′\Delta{n}^{′} is very small ⇒\Deltaff=−\Deltan2(n−1)…..(3)⇒ \dfrac{\Deltaf}{f} = \dfrac{- \Deltan}{2\left(n - 1\right)} \ldots . . \left(3\right)
Now, option (A)( A )
n=1.5,\Deltan=10−3andf=20cmn = 1.5, \Deltan = {10}^{- 3}and f = 20cm
⇒∣\Deltaf∣=f⋅(\Deltan)2(n−1)=20×10−32×(1.5−1)=0.02cm⇒(A)⇒ | \Deltaf | = \dfrac{f ⋅ ( \Deltan )}{2 ( n - 1 )} = \dfrac{20 \times {10}^{- 3}}{2 \times ( 1.5 - 1 )} = 0.02cm ⇒ ( A ) is correct.
Option (B)( B )
The relation between \Deltaff\dfrac{\Deltaf}{f} or \Deltann\dfrac{\Deltan}{n} is dependent of ‘R’‘R’
⇒⇒ Remain unchanged for convex or concave surfaces
⇒(B)⇒ ( B ) is correct.
Option \left(C\right)<br>As<br >Asn < 2 ⇒ 2\left(n - 1\right) < n<br><br >⇒ \dfrac{\Deltaf}{f} = \dfrac{1}{2}\left|\dfrac{\Deltan}{n - 1}\right| > \dfrac{\Deltan}{n}<br><br >⇒ \dfrac{\Deltaf}{f} > \dfrac{\Deltan}{n} ⇒ ( C )isincorrect.<br>Option(D)is incorrect.<br >Option \left(D\right)
If \Deltann<0,\dfrac{\Deltan}{n} < 0, then \Deltaff>0,\dfrac{\Deltaf}{f} > 0, using equation (3)( 3 )
⇒(D)⇒ ( D ) is correct.
