R is the radius of curvature for both the surfaces of lens shown in figure. Refractive index `mu_(1), mu_(2) and mu_(3)` are indicated in the figure. Light rays are incident from the side of refractive index `mu_(1)` as shown. If f is focal length of lens then find `f//R` for ` mu_(1) = 1, mu_(2)= 1.5, mu_(3)= 2`.

The correct Answer is:
To find the relationship between the focal length \( f \) and the radius of curvature \( R \) for the given lens using the Lensmaker's formula, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Apply the Lensmaker's Formula for Surface 1 For the first surface of the lens, we can use the Lensmaker's formula: \[ \frac{\mu_2}{v_1} - \frac{\mu_1}{u_1} = \frac{\mu_2 - \mu_1}{R} \] Where: - \( \mu_1 = 1 \) (refractive index of the medium from which light is coming) - \( \mu_2 = 1.5 \) (refractive index of the lens) - \( u_1 = -\infty \) (object distance for parallel rays) - \( v_1 \) is the image distance from surface 1. Since \( u_1 \) is very large (for parallel rays), we can approximate: \[ \frac{\mu_2}{v_1} = \frac{\mu_2 - \mu_1}{R} \] Rearranging gives us: \[ v_1 = \frac{\mu_2 R}{\mu_2 - \mu_1} \] Substituting the values: \[ v_1 = \frac{1.5 R}{1.5 - 1} = \frac{1.5 R}{0.5} = 3R \] ### Step 2: Apply the Lensmaker's Formula for Surface 2 Now, we apply the Lensmaker's formula for the second surface: \[ \frac{\mu_3}{v_2} - \frac{\mu_2}{v_1} = \frac{\mu_3 - \mu_2}{R} \] Where: - \( \mu_3 = 2 \) (refractive index of the medium on the other side of the lens) - \( v_2 \) is the final image distance from surface 2. Substituting \( v_1 = 3R \): \[ \frac{2}{v_2} - \frac{1.5}{3R} = \frac{2 - 1.5}{R} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{2}{v_2} - \frac{0.5}{3R} = \frac{0.5}{R} \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( v_2 \) Rearranging gives us: \[ \frac{2}{v_2} = \frac{0.5}{R} + \frac{0.5}{3R} \] Finding a common denominator for the right side: \[ \frac{2}{v_2} = \frac{0.5 \cdot 3 + 0.5}{3R} = \frac{1.5}{3R} = \frac{0.5}{R} \] Thus: \[ \frac{2}{v_2} = \frac{0.5}{R} \] Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 2R = 0.5 v_2 \implies v_2 = \frac{2R}{0.5} = 4R \] ### Step 4: Relate \( f \) to \( R \) Since \( v_2 \) is the focal length \( f \): \[ f = 4R \] ### Step 5: Find \( \frac{f}{R} \) Now, we can find \( \frac{f}{R} \): \[ \frac{f}{R} = \frac{4R}{R} = 4 \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the value of \( \frac{f}{R} \) is \( 4 \). ---
