    The plane surface of a plano-convex lens is silvered. Focal length of lens is f. After silvering, it will behave as

    A)  plane mirror

    B)  convex mirror of focal length 2f

    C)  concave mirror of focal length \[\frac{f}{2}\]

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    When plane surface of a plano-convex lens is silvered, it behaves like a concave mirror. Radius of curvature of concave mirror so formed becomes equal to focal length of plano-convex lens. \[\therefore \]f of mirror \[=\frac{1}{2}\times \] Focal length of lens Focal length of mirror \[=\frac{f}{2}\]
