    A convex lens of focal length 20 cm made of glass of refractive index 1.5 is immersed in water having refractive index 1.33. The change in the focal length of lens is

    A) 62.2cm  

    B) 5.82cm

    C) 58.2cm             

    D) 6.22cm

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] : When the lens is in air \[\frac{1}{{{f}_{a}}}=({{\mu }_{g}}-1)\left( \frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}} \right)\] \[\frac{1}{20}=(1.5-1)\left( \frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}} \right)\] When lens is in water, \[\frac{1}{{{f}_{w}}}=\left( \frac{{{\mu }_{g}}}{{{\mu }_{w}}}-1 \right)\left( \frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}} \right)\] or\[\frac{1}{{{f}_{w}}}=\left( \frac{1.5-1.33}{1.33} \right)\left( \frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}} \right)\] or\[\frac{{{f}_{w}}}{20}=(1.5-1)\left( \frac{1.33}{1.5-1.33} \right)\] or\[{{f}_{w}}=20\times 0.5\times \frac{1.33}{0.17}=78.2cm\] \[=78.2cm\] The change in focal length \[=78.2-20=58.2cm\]
