MCQ
A planoconvex lens, when silvered at its plane surface is equivalent to a concave mirror of focal length $28\,cm$. When its curved surface is silvered and the plane surface is not silvered, it is equivalent to a concave mirror of focal length $10\,cm$, then the refractive index of the material of the lens is
  • A
    $\frac {9}{14}$
  • $\frac {14}{9}$
  • C
    $\frac {17}{9}$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac {14}{9}$
b
lens $+$ mirror $ \to $ mirror

$\frac{1}{{{f_L}}} = \frac{1}{{{f_m}}} - \frac{2}{{{f_l}}}$

${f_m} \to \infty $

$\frac{1}{{{f_l}}} = \left( {\mu  - 1} \right)\left( {\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{\infty }} \right)$

$\frac{1}{{{f_l}}} = \frac{{\mu  - 1}}{R}$

$\frac{1}{{{f_l}}} = \frac{R}{{\mu  - 1}}$

${f_m} = \frac{{ - fl}}{2} = \frac{{ - R}}{{2\left( {\mu  - 1} \right)}}$

Given that $\frac{R}{{2\left( {\mu  - 1} \right)}} = 28$       ...........$(1)$

$\frac{1}{{{f_l}}} = \left( {\mu  - 1} \right)\left( {\frac{1}{\infty } - \frac{1}{{ - R}}} \right)$

$\frac{1}{{{f_l}}} = \frac{{\mu  - 1}}{R}$

${f_m} = \frac{{ - R}}{2}$

$\frac{1}{{{f_F}}} = \frac{1}{{{f_m}}} - \frac{2}{{{f_l}}}$

$\frac{1}{{{f_m}}} = \frac{2}{R} - \frac{{2\left( {\mu  - 1} \right)}}{R}$

${f_F} = 10\,\,cm$

$\frac{2}{R} + \frac{{2\left( {\mu  - 1} \right)}}{R} = \frac{1}{{10}}$

$\frac{{2\mu }}{R} = \frac{1}{{10}}$             ..........$(2)$

$R = 20\mu $

$\frac{{20\mu }}{{2\left( {2\mu  - 1} \right)}} = 28$

$\mu  = 2.8\left( {\mu  - 1} \right)$

$\mu  = 2.8\mu  - 2.8$

$\mu \frac{{2.8}}{{1.8}} = \frac{{14}}{9}$
