...................♥..................... ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Lens Maker's Formula. Using the positive optical sign convention, the lens maker's formula states. where f is the focal length, n is the index of refraction, and and are the radii of curvature of the two sides of the lens

Answer 2

Answer:

Lens-Maker's Formula

For a thin lens, the power is approximately the sum of the surface powers.

n is the refractive index of the lens material, R1 is the radius of curvature of the lens surface closest to the light source, R2 is the radius of curvature of the lens surface farthest from the light source, d is the thickness of the lens.

A lens maker formula may be defined as the formula which gives the relationship for calculating focal length(f) in term of Radii of the two curvatures of lens that is R1 and R2 and the refractive index of lens and surrounding.

The radii of curvature here are measured according to the Cartesian sign convention. For a double convex lens the radius R1 is positive since it is measured from the front surface and extends right to the center of curvature. The radius R2 is negative since it extends left from the second surface.

For a lens in air which has index of refraction n =

with surface radii R1 =

cm and R2 =

cm

the thin lens approximation of the power is P =

diopters

which corresponds to focal length f =

cm .

If the lens is in another medium, such as water, its lens strength will be diminished.

If the lens is in a medium of index n =

then the lens power will be

diopters

and the corresponding focal length f =

cm.

The above calculation is a single purpose calculation which returns the powers and focal lengths based on the values of the radii and indices of refraction. Substitute a number in any field and the calculation will be initiated. Default values will be entered for any unspecified parameter, but the index and radius values may be changed.

The second part of the calculation above shows the diminshed power of a lens in a medium other than air. This gives important insight into the role of the two lenses of the human eye. The cornea has the greatest power because light enters it from the air. The inner crystalline lens has much less refractive power because it is suspended in a water-like medium.

For thick lenses , Gullstrand's equation can be used to calculate the lens power.
