Define focal length and radius of curvature of a concave lens.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Focal length (f) : The distance of principal focus from the optical centre of the lens is called focal length of the lens is called focal length of the lens. The focal lengtth (f) = CF
Radius of curvature : Radius of curvature is the radius of the sphere from which the curved surface is taken part.
