    The radius of the convex surface of plano-convex 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\[f=40\,cm\]
