A biconvex lens forms a real image of an object placed perpendicular to its principal axis. Suppose the radii of curvature of the lens tend to infinity. Then the image would

A

Disappear

B

Remain as real image still

C

Be virtual and of the same size as the object

D

Suffer from aberrations

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`(1)/(f)=(mu-1)((1)/(R_(1))-(1)/(R_(2)))`
For biconvex lens `R_(2)=-R_(1)`
`:. (1)/(f)=(mu-1)((2)/(R))`
