A double convex lens of focal length ' F ' is cut into two equal parts along the vertical axis. The focal length of each part will be
Options
- A2 ~F
- BF
- CF 2
- D4 ~F
Correct answer
A. 2 ~F
Step-by-step solution
For bifocal convex lens 1 f =( -1) ( 1 R₁ + 1 R₂ )= ( -1) 2 R . (R₁=R₂=R ) For plane surface R ₂= For half plane-convex lens aligned & 1 f ^ =( -1) 1 R & 1 / f 1 / f ^ = ( -1) R 2 R -1 =2 & f ^ f =2 & f ^ =2 f aligned As focal length is F, f^ =2 F .
