The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided regarding the goggle lens. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that although the surfaces of goggle lenses are curved, they do not have any power. - In optics, the power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of its focal length (P = 1/f). If a lens has no power, it means its focal length is infinite. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that in the case of goggles, both curved surfaces have equal radii of curvature and their centers of curvature are on the same side. - This suggests that the lens is symmetric and behaves differently than typical converging or diverging lenses. 3. **Analyzing the Lens Formula**: - The lens maker's formula is given by: \[ \frac{1}{f} = (\mu_{relative} - 1) \left( \frac{1}{r_1} - \frac{1}{r_2} \right) \] - For goggle lenses, if both surfaces have equal radii of curvature (let's say r), then: \[ r_1 = r \quad \text{and} \quad r_2 = -r \] - Substituting these values into the lens formula: \[ \frac{1}{f} = (\mu_{relative} - 1) \left( \frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{-r} \right) = (\mu_{relative} - 1) \left( \frac{1}{r} + \frac{1}{r} \right) = 2(\mu_{relative} - 1) \frac{1}{r} \] 4. **Determining the Focal Length**: - If the radii are equal and the centers of curvature are on the same side, the effective focal length approaches infinity, leading to: \[ \frac{1}{f} = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad f = \infty \] - Therefore, the power of the lens is: \[ P = \frac{1}{f} = 0 \] 5. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and reason are true. The assertion is correct because the goggle lens does not have any power, and the reason correctly explains why this is the case. ### Final Answer: - **Assertion**: True - **Reason**: True - The reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
