Find the power of a thin glass lens (mu = 1.5) in a liquid with refractive index mu_(0) = 1.7, if its power in air is : -5D.

Answer»

<P>`+ 4D`
` + 2D`
` -4D`
` -2D`

SOLUTION :`(b) P_(0)=(mu-1)[(1)/(R_(1))-(1)/(R_(2))]` in air
`P=(mu-mu_(0))[(1)/(R_(1))-(1)/(R_(1))]"in liquid"`
`therefore P=P_(0)(mu-mu_(0))/(mu-1)=-5xx(1.5-1.7)/(1.5-1)=+2D`
