Question
A student uses a lens of focal length 40 cm and another of –20 cm. Write the nature and power of each lens
Advertisements
Solution
Power of first lens, `P_1 = 1/(f(m)) = 1/0.4 = 2.5 D`
The given lens is a converging lens i.e. a convex lens.
Power of second lens, `P_2 = 1/f(m)` = `-1/0.2` = -5D
The given lens is a diverging lens i.e. a concave lens.

Consider three converging lenses L1, L2 and L3 having identical geometrical construction. The index of refraction of L1 and L2 are \[\mu_1 \text{ and } \mu_2\] respectively. The upper half of the lens L3 has a refractive index \[\mu_1\] and the lower half has \[\mu_2\] following figure .
