    A double convex lens\[(\mu ~=3/2)\]of focal length 20 cm is totally immersed in water\[(\mu ~=4/2)\]. Its focal length now will be

    A)  20 cm          

    B)  30 cm

    C)  40cm          

    D)  10cm

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     From lens formula \[\frac{1}{f}=(\mu -1)\left( \frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}} \right)\] If focal length of lens in air is\[{{f}_{a}}\]and in liquid is \[{{f}_{1}},\]then \[\frac{1}{{{f}_{a}}}={{(}_{a}}{{\mu }_{g}}-1)\left( \frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}} \right)\] \[\frac{1}{{{f}_{e}}}={{(}_{l}}{{\mu }_{g}}-1)\left( \frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}} \right)\] \[\frac{{{f}_{l}}}{{{f}_{a}}}=\frac{{{(}_{a}}{{\mu }_{g}}-1)}{{{(}_{l}}{{\mu }_{g}}-1)}\] \[\frac{{{f}_{l}}}{20}=\left[ \frac{\frac{3}{2}-1}{\frac{4}{3}-1} \right]\] \[=\frac{3}{2}\] \[{{f}_{l}}=30\,cm\]
