Problem 125PP
A diverging lens with ƒ = −12.5 cm is made from ice. What is the focal length of this lens if it is immersed in ethyl alcohol? (Refer to Table.)
A. 102 cm
B. 105 cm
C. 118 cm
D. 122 cm
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
Here we need to find the focal length of the given lens when it is immersed in ethyl alcohol. The given lens is a diverging lens with a focal length in air as and is made of ice.
Given data,
Focal length of lens in air,
From Table 26-2, we have
Refractive index of ice or lens,
Refractive index of ethyl alcohol fluid,
To find,
Focal length of lens in ethyl alcohol fluid,
