Q15.The refractive index of a converging lens is 1. 4. What will be the focal length of this lens if it is placed in a medium of same refractive index ? (Assume the radii of curvature of the faces of lens are R1 and R2 respectively) (1) 1 (2) Infinite (3) R1R2 (4) Zero R1−R2

What This Question Tests

This question tests the understanding of the Lens Maker's formula and how the focal length of a lens changes when the lens is placed in a medium with the same refractive index as the lens material.

Concepts Tested

Lens Maker's FormulaRefractive Index of Medium

Formulas Used

1/f = (μ_lens/μ_medium - 1)(1/R₁ - 1/R₂)
