    The radius of the convex surface of planoconvex lens is 20 cm and the refractive index of the material of the lens is 1.5. The focal length is:

    A)  30 cm   

    B)                         50 cm                  

    C)  20 cm                  

    D)         40 cm

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Using the relation for focal length of Plano convex lens \[\frac{1}{f}=(\mu -1)\left( \frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}} \right)\] (Refractive index of material of lens \[\mu =1.5,\]\[{{R}_{1}}=20\,cm,\]\[{{R}_{2}}=\infty \]) \[\frac{1}{f}=(1.5-1)\left( \frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{\infty } \right)\] \[\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{40}\]  or  \[f=40\,cm\]
