    One surface of a lens is convex and the other is concave. If the radii of curvatures are \[{{R}_{1}}\] and \[{{R}_{2}}\] then the lens will be convex, if

    A)  \[{{R}_{1}}<{{R}_{2}}\]

    B)  \[{{R}_{1}}>{{R}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[{{R}_{1}}={{R}_{2}}\]           

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Focal length \[\frac{1}{f}=(\mu -1)\left( \frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}} \right)\] For lens to be concave \[\left( \frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}} \right)>0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}>\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{R}_{1}}>{{R}_{2}}\]
