A convex lens of refractive index has two surfaces of equal radius of curvature R . The focal length of convex lens is
Options
- A2( - 1) R
- BR 2( - 1)
- C( - 1) 2R
- D2R ( - 1)
Correct answer
B. R 2( - 1)
Step-by-step solution
Using the lens maker's formula: 1 f = ( - 1) ( 1 R₁ - 1 R₂ ) For a biconvex lens with equal radii of curvature, R₁ = +R and R₂ = -R . Substituting these values into the formula: 1 f = ( - 1) ( 1 R - 1 -R ) 1 f = ( - 1) ( 2 R ) f = R 2( - 1) Answer: R 2( - 1)
