Explanation:

Given Convex lens of focal length 0.2 m is made of material of refractive index 7/2. The lens is placed in a medium, then its focal length is increased by 0.35 m. What is the refractive index of the medium?

  • So the focal length in air is 0.2 m and refractive index of the material is 7/2.
  •     So we have refractive index as μ / μa (in air)
  •                                                           = 7/2/1
  •                                                           = 7/2
  • Now when the lens is placed in a medium we have
  •                                         μm
  • So the focal length is increased by 0.35 m, so we get  
  •                                                               0.2 + 0.35
  •                                                                    = 0.55 m
  • From the lens maker’s formula we have
  •                                                    1/fa = (μ / μa – 1)(1/R1 – 1/R2) --------1
  • Now in a medium we get
  •                                                 1/fm = (μ /μm – 1) (1/R1 – 1/R2) ---------2
  • Equation 1 / 2 will give
  •                                                  fm / fa = (μ / μa – 1) / (μ / μm – 1)
  •                                               0.55 / 0.2 = (7/2 – 1) / (7/2 μm – 1)
  •                                                55 / 20 = 5/2 / ((7/2 μm – 1)
  •                          11/4 (7/2 μm – 1) = 5/2
  •                                                          11/2 μm – 1 = 10/11
  •                                                          7/2 μm = 10/11 + 1
  •                                                                        = 21 / 11
  •                                                                   6 μm = 11
  •                                                      Or  μm  = 11 / 6
