A bi-concave lens has a radius of curvature of one side equal to 10.5cm and on the other side equal to 15.0cm.If the lens is made of crown glass(n=1.52), what is the focal length of the lens?
R1=10.5cmR_1=10.5cmR1=10.5cm
R2=15cmR_2=15cmR2=15cm
n=1.52n=1.52n=1.52
1F=(n−1)(1R2+1R1)→F=R2∗R1(n−1)(R1+R2)=10.5∗150.52∗25.5=\frac{1}{F}=(n-1)(\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_1}) \to F = \large\frac{R_2*R_1}{(n-1)(R_1+R_2)}=\frac{10.5*15}{0.52*25.5}=F1=(n−1)(R21+R11)→F=(n−1)(R1+R2)R2∗R1=0.52∗25.510.5∗15= 11.8811.8811.88
