CBSE Class 12-science Answered
if for a perfectly symmertical lens, r1=r2, then how will we find focal length??

We have Lens maker's formula

where f is focal length , μ is refractive index of materilal of lens , r1 is radius of curvature of left side
spherical surface and r2 is radius of curvature of right side spherical surface.
numerically r1 = r2 = r, by sign convention r1 is positive and r2 is negative .
Hence we get from eqn.(1)

From the known value of radius of curvature and refractive index of material ,
we get focal length f from above expression
