Optics Ques 60
- The image of an object, formed by a plano-convex lens at a distance of $8 $ $m$ behind the lens, is real and is one-third the size of the object. The wavelength of light inside the lens is $2 / 3$ times the wavelength in free space. The radius of the curved surface of the lens is

Answer:
Correct Answer: 60.(c)
Solution:
Formula:
Refraction at Spherical Thin Lens:
- $\mu=\frac{\lambda _{\text {air }}}{\lambda _{\text {medium }}}=\frac{1}{(2 / 3)}=\frac{3}{2}$
Further, $\quad|m|=\frac{1}{3}=\left|\frac{v}{u}\right|$
$\therefore \quad|v|=\frac{|u|}{3}$
$\Rightarrow \quad u=-24 m \quad $(Real object)
$\therefore \quad v=+8 m \quad $ (Real image)
$ \begin{aligned} & \text { Now, } \quad \frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}=(\mu-1) (\frac{1}{+R}-\frac{1}{\infty}) \\ & \therefore \quad \frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{24}=(\frac{3}{2}-1) (\frac{1}{R}) \\ & \therefore \quad R=3 m \end{aligned} $
