A concave lens made of material of refractive index 1.6 is immersed in a medium of refractive index 2.0 . The two surfaces of the concave lens have the same radius of curvature 0.2 ~m . The lens will behave as a
Options
- ADivergent lens of focal length 0.4 ~m
- BDivergent lens of focal length 0.5 ~m .
- CConvergent lens of focal length 0.4 ~m .
- DConvergent lens of focal length 0.5 ~m
Correct answer
D. Convergent lens of focal length 0.5 ~m
Step-by-step solution
1 F = ( 1.6 2 -1 ) ( 1 -0.2 - 1 0.2 )= 0.4 2 1 0.1 F=0.5 converging lens
