JEE Main 2022 · 28 Jul · Shift 2, Physics question 16

The power of a lens (biconvex) is 1.25 m−1^{-1} in particular medium. Refractive index of the lens is 1.5 and radii of curvature are 20 cm and 40 cm respectively. The refractive index of surrounding medium:

Choose one option
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: B

Lens maker. 1.25=(1.5μ−1)(10.2+10.4)1.25=\left(\frac{1.5}\mu-1\right)\left(\frac1{0.2}+\frac1{0.4}\right), so 1.5μ=76\frac{1.5}\mu=\frac76 and μ=97\mu=\frac97.

(B)
