The radii of curvature of the surfaces of a double convex lens are `20 cm and 40 cm` respectively, and its focal length is `20 cm`. What is the refractive index of the material of the lens ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the refractive index of the material of the double convex lens, we can use the lens maker's formula: \[ \frac{1}{F} = (\mu - 1) \left( \frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2} \right) \] where: - \( F \) is the focal length of the lens, ...
