उत्तर
Refractive index of glass, μ=1.55
Focal length of the double-convex lens, f=20 cm
Radius of curvature of one face of the lens =R1
Radius of curvature of the other face of the lens =R2
Radius of curvature of the double-convex lens = R
∴ R1=R and R2=-R
The value of R can be calculated as:
`1/f=(mu-1)[1/R_1-1/R_2]`
`1/20=(1.55-1)[1/R+1/R]`
`1/20=(0.55)[2/R]`
`therefore R=22 cm`
Hence , the radius of curvature of the double-convex lens is 22 cm

(i) Consider a thin lens placed between a source (S) and an observer (O) (Figure). Let the thickness of the lens vary as `w(b) = w_0 - b^2/α`, where b is the verticle distance from the pole. `w_0` is a constant. Using Fermat’s principle i.e. the time of transit for a ray between the source and observer is an extremum, find the condition that all paraxial rays starting from the source will converge at a point O on the axis. Find the focal length.
(ii) A gravitational lens may be assumed to have a varying width of the form
