Solution 1

The focal length of a lens is given by the lensmaker's formula:

1/f = (n-1)(1/R1 - 1/R2)

where: f is the focal length, n is the refractive index of the lens material, R1 and R2 are the radii of curvature of the lens surfaces.

Given that the lens is biconvex, R1 = -R2. Therefore, the formula simpl Knowee AI StudyGPT is a powerful AI-powered study tool designed to help you to solve study prob
