A convex lens is dipped in a liquid whose refractive index is equal to refractive index of lens material. Then its focal length will
Options
- Abecome infinite
- Bremain same
- Cdecrease
- Dbecome zero
Correct answer
A. become infinite
Step-by-step solution
Given that refractive of liquid is equal to refractive index of lens. n_ lens =n_ liquid Let the focal length be f . From lens makers formula, we get 1 f = (n_ lens -n_ liquid ) n_ liquid ( 1 R₁ - 1 R₂ ) Here, n_ lens -n_ liquid =0 Therefore, the focal length will be infinite.
