AIIMS 2008 Physics Lens Formula Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-numerical-Hard-Class 12

Assertion: A double convex lens (μ = 1.5) has focal length 10 cm. When the lens is immersed in water (μ = 4/3) its focal length becomes 77 cm.

Reason: 1f=(μlμw1)(1R11R2)\frac{1}{f} = \left( \frac{μ_l}{μ_w} - 1 \right) \left( \frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2} \right)

A

Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

B

Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C

Assertion is true but Reason is false.

D

Both Assertion and Reason are false.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

1/f = (μ_r - 1)...
