A thin symmetrical double convex lens of refractive index is placed between a medium of refractive index to the left and another medium of refractive index to the right. Then, the system behaves as
Options
- Aa convex lens
- Ba concave lens
- Ca glass plate
- Da convexo concave lens
Correct answer
C. a glass plate
Step-by-step solution
For first refracting surface,
For parallel beam of light; \begin{aligned}
& -\frac{\mu_2}{1.5 R}+\frac{\mu_3}{V^{\prime}}=\frac{\mu_3-\mu_2}{R} \\
& \Rightarrow-\frac{1.5}{15 R}+\frac{1.6}{V^{\prime}}=\frac{1.6-1.5}{R} \Rightarrow V^{\prime}=\infty\end{aligned}$$
Hence, the combination behaves as glass plate.
