Spherical Surfaces & Thin Lenses

A convex lens is dipped in a liquid whose refractive index is equal to the refractive index of the lens. Then its focal length will

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. 1f=(μlμm−1)(1R1−1R2)\frac{1}{f} = \left(\frac{\mu_l}{\mu_m} - 1\right)\left(\frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2}\right)
  2. With μm=μl\mu_m = \mu_l the bracket is zero, so f=∞f = \infty.
  3. So the answer is (b) become infinite.
