The image of an object, formed by a plano - convex lens at a distance of 8 m behind the lens, is real and is one-third the size of the object. The wavelength of light inside the lens is 2 3 times the wavelength in free space. The radius of the curved surface of the lens is
Options
- A1 m
- B2 m
- C3 m
- D6 m
Correct answer
C. 3 m
Step-by-step solution
V = 8m Magnification = v u = - 1 3 u = -24 also μ = c V m = λ a λ m = 3 2 1 f = μ - 1 1 R 1 - 1 R 2 1 f = μ - 1 1 ∞ - 1 - R 1 f = 3 2 - 1 1 R f = 2R from lens formula 1 v - 1 u = 1 f 1 8 + 1 2 4 = 1 2R 4 24 = 1 2R ⇒ R = 3 m
