    A biconvex lens is made of material of refractive index 1.5 each of radius of curvature of lens surface is 20 cm. The focal length of lens is

    A)  20cm                                   

    B)  10cm

    C)  25cm                                   

    D)  30cm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     From lens makers formula \[\frac{1}{f}=(\mu -1)\left( \frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}} \right)\]where \[\mu \] is refractive index, \[{{R}_{1}},{{R}_{2}}\] the radii of curvature of the surfaces. Given,   \[\mu =1.5,\,\,\,\,{{R}_{1}}=20\,cm,\,{{R}_{2}}=-20\,cm\]                 \[\frac{1}{f}=(1.5-1)\left( \frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{-20} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{1}{f}=0.5\times \frac{2}{20}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[f=20\,cm\]
