Lense.....problem...

When one surface of a biconvex lens is silvered then in this situation , Two times refraction through lens and one time reflection occurs
So power of combination
P = P_L+P_m+P_L = 2P_L+P_m
P_m=-1f_m , f_m=R2 , P_L = 1f_L (f_L is in metre )

for plano convex lens
two cases may arise
CASE-I
If plane surface is silvered
let radius of curvature is R and μ be its refractive index
P = 2P_L + P_m
P_L = 1f_L = (μ-1)\left[\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{-\infty } \right]
\Rightarrow P_{L} = \frac{(\mu -1)}{R}

P_M = -1f_m = -1∞ = 0

hence P = 2(μ-1)R , f = R2(μ-1)

CASE - II
if curved surface is silvered
P = 2P_L+P_m

P_{L} = (\mu -1)\left[\frac{1}{\infty } -\frac{1}{-R}\right] = \frac{(\mu -1)}{R}

P_m = -1f_m = -1-R/2 = 2R

hence P = 2μR and f = R2μ

thanks Manmay....

thanks for giving both the cases..though only the first case was asked in Wbjee....

kudos....

only first cassse was asked to bataya kyun nahin
Bohat type karna pada bekar main :P
but nevertheless if it helped u then its fine :)
