Fig. 6(b).54. shows a thin lens with centres of curvature `C_(1) and C_(2)`. If `mu = 1.5`, what is its focal length ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Fig. shows a concaveo convex lens with `R_(1) = + 10cm , R_(2) = + 20 cm`

`(1)/(F) = (mu - 1)((1)/(R_(1)) - (1)/(R_(2)))`
`= (1.5 - 1)((1)/(10) - (1)/(20)) = (1)/(40) :. f = 40 cm`
