Questions  

The refractive index of a lens material is 1.5 and focal length f .  Due to some chemical changes in the material, its refractive index has increased by 2%.  The percentage change in its focal length is

a
+ 4.5%
b
– 4.5%
c
+ 5.67%
d
– 5.67%

detailed solution

Correct option is D

1f=(μ−1) 1R1-1R2 1f∝(μ−1) μ'=μ+2%μ=1.02μ=1.02×1.5=1.53 f'f=(μ−1)(μ'−1) f'f-1=(μ−1)(μ'−1)-1 f'-ff×100=(μ−1)-(μ'−1)(μ'−1)×100 =(μ−μ')(μ'−1)×100 =(1.5−1.53)(1.53−1)×100=-5.67%
