A thin lens `(mu = 1.5)` of focal length + 12 cm is immersed in water `(mu = 1.33).` What is its new focal length ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the new focal length of a thin lens immersed in water, we can use the lens maker's formula. Let's go through the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Lens Maker's Formula The lens maker's formula is given by: \[ \frac{1}{f} = \left(\frac{\mu_l}{\mu_m} - 1\right) \left(\frac{1}{r_1} - \frac{1}{r_2}\right) \] ...
