Q28.The graph between 1 and 1 for a thin convex lens in order to determine its focal length is plotted as shown in u v the figure. The refractive index of lens is 1. 5 and its both the surfaces have same radius of curvatures R. The value of R will be _____ cm. (Where u = object distance, v = image distance)

What This Question Tests

This problem involves interpreting a 1/v vs 1/u graph to find the focal length and then using the lens maker's formula to determine the radius of curvature.

Formulas Used

1/v - 1/u = 1/f

1/f = (n-1)(1/Rโ‚ - 1/Rโ‚‚)
