A thin convex lens made from crown glass μ = 3 2 has focal length f ⁡ . When it is measured in two different liquids having refractive indices 4 3 and 5 3 , it has the focal lengths f ⁡ 1 and f ⁡ 2 respectively. The correct relation between the focal lengths is :
Options
- Af 1 = f 2 < f
- Bf 1 > f and f 2 becomes negative
- Cf 2 > f and f 1 becomes negative
- Df 1 and f 2 both become negative
Correct answer
B. f 1 > f and f 2 becomes negative
Step-by-step solution
Let [ 1 R 1 - 1 R 2 ] = x ∴ 1 f = [ 3 2 1 - 1 ] [ 1 R 1 - 1 R 2 ] ⇒ f = 2 x When in liquid 1 1 f 1 = [ 3 2 4 3 - 1 ] [ 1 R 1 - 1 R 2 ] ⇒ f 1 = 8 x When in liquid 2 1 f 2 = [ 3 2 5 3 - 1 ] [ 1 R 1 - 1 R 2 ] ⇒ f 2 = - 10 x
