    A biconvex lens forms a real image of an object placed perpendicular to its principal axis. Suppose the radii of curvature of the lens tend to infinity. Then the image would [MP PET 1994]

    A)            Disappear

    B)            Remain as real image still

    C)            Be virtual and of the same size as the object

    D)            Suffer from aberrations

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       \[\frac{1}{f}=(\mu -1)\left( \frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}} \right)\]                    For biconvex lens \[{{R}_{2}}=-{{R}_{1}}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{1}{f}=(\mu -1)\left( \frac{2}{R} \right)\]                    Given \[R=\infty \] \[\therefore \] \[f=\infty \], so no focus at real distance.
