JEE Main & Advanced Physics Ray Optics Question Bank Refraction at Curved Surface

  • question_answer
    A thin glass (refractive index 1.5) lens has optical power of \[-\,5D\] in air. It's optical power in a liquid medium with refractive index 1.6 will be                                         [AIEEE 2005]

    A)            25 D                                         

    B)            ? 25 D

    C)            1 D

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       \[\frac{{{f}_{l}}}{{{f}_{a}}}=\frac{{{(}_{a}}{{\mu }_{g}}-1)}{{{(}_{l}}{{\mu }_{g}}-1)}\] Þ \[\frac{{{f}_{l}}}{{{f}_{a}}}=\frac{_{a}{{\mu }_{g}}-1}{_{l}{{\mu }_{g}}-1}=\frac{1.5-1}{\frac{1.5}{1.6}-1}=\frac{0.5\times 1.6}{-0.1\,}=-\,8\] Þ \[{{P}_{l}}=\frac{{{P}_{a}}}{8}=\frac{5}{8}\]
