A convex lens has its radii of curvature equal. The focal length of the lens is f. If it is divided vertically into two identical plano-convex lenses by cutting it, then the focal length of the plano-convex lens (p = the refractive index of the material of the lens)

A

f

B

`f/2`

C

2f

D

`(mu-1)f`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

If a lens is vertically divided into two parts then, the power becomes half.
`therefore` The focal length becomes 2f.
