    The equi-convex lens shown in the figure has focal length\[f.\] What will be the focal length of each half if the lens is cut along AB?

    A) \[\frac{f}{2}\]                         

    B) \[f\]                              

    C) \[\frac{3f}{2}\]                                   

    D) \[2f\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    For equiconvex lens \[{{R}_{1}}=-{{R}_{2}}=R,\] so that \[\frac{1}{f}=(\mu -1)\left\{ \frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}} \right\}=(\mu -1)\frac{2}{R}\] If the lens in cut along AB, we have two piano convex lenses. For a planoconvex lens, \[{{R}_{2}}=\infty .\] Therefore, its focal length \[f\]is \[\frac{1}{f'}=(\mu -1)\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{2f},\] \[\therefore \]    \[f'=2f.\] Hence, the correction option is [d].
