Question

The focal length of a concave lens whose radius of curvature is 76 cm is ____ cm.

hintHint:

For a concave lens, the focal length is half of the radius of curvature i.e f= R/2
 .

The correct answer is: 38


    The focal length of a concave lens whose radius of curvature is 76 cm is 38 cm.
    • The focal length of the lens is the distance of the focus from the optical center
    • And focal length is half of the radius of curvature.
    • The focal length can be calculated by the formula f= R/2
    • If the radius of the curvature is 76 cm, the focal length is 76/2= 38 cm.
