To find the radius of curvature required for a double convex lens made of glass with a refractive index of 1.55 and a focal length of 20 cm, we can use the lens maker's formula. The lens maker's formula is given by: \[ \frac{1}{f} = (n - 1) \left( \frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2} \right) \] Where: - \( f \) is the focal length of the lens, ...
