The power of a biconvex lens is10dioptre and the radius of curvature of each surface is10 cm.Then the refractive index of the material of the lens is,

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Recall the proper relation between power and focal length, P=100f⇒f=100P=10010=10 cm, now the relation between focal length and radius of curvature and refractive index, of the spherical surface lens, 

f=R2(μ-1) (for equiconvex lens)

⇒10=102(μ-1)⇒(μ-1)=12⇒μ=12+1=32.
