    Radii of curvature of a converging lens are in the ratio \[1:2\]. Its focal length is 6 cm and refractive index is 1.5. Then its radii of curvature are ____respectively.

    A)  9 cm and 18 cm  

    B)  6 cm and 12 cm

    C)  3 cm and 6 cm   

    D)  4.5 cm and 9 cm

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    : Let  \[{{R}_{1}}=R\]   \[\therefore \]   \[{{R}_{2}}=2R\] According to lens makers formula \[\frac{1}{f}=(\mu -1)\left( \frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}} \right)\] Here,  \[f=6cm,\,\mu =1.5\] \[{{R}_{1}}=R,\,\,{{R}_{2}}=-2R\] \[\therefore \]\[\frac{1}{6}=(1.5-1)\left( \frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{-2R} \right)=0.5\left( \frac{1}{R}+\frac{1}{2R} \right)\] \[\frac{1}{6}=0.5\left( \frac{3}{2R} \right)\] or \[\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1.5}{2R}\] \[R=\frac{1.5\times 6}{2}=4.5cm\] \[\therefore \] \[{{R}_{1}}=4.5cm,\,{{R}_{2}}=9cm\]
