ok bro. i m trying
a parallel beam of light enters a clear plastic bead 2.5 cm in diameter and index 1.4. at what point beyond the bead are these rays brought to a focus ????

conventions will not change the answer..
And a suggestion:
If you have not figured out a convention yet, I wud advice you to follow the absolute frame of reference convention.
you have to apply the lensmaker's formula twice.
once on the first surface.. then on the second surface...
First v that you calculate will be substraced by 2.5 mm.. to get the u for the second surface.
is the answer 35/8 cm ??????????
here is the solution....read it only if ans is correct..otherwise u will get confused..[3]
applying lens maker formula :
1.4/v -1/∞ =0.4/(2.5/2) becoz R =diameter/2=0.25/2
=>v=35/8 cm
i think we need to use the lensmaker's formula with the approximatin that if the beam is very thin then it converges!
or you could directly use the refraction formula μsinθ= constant.
and use the first principle to find the same!
even m confused abhirup i [7] i am sorry i dun know though i wud try again
is this focal point independent of the distance betn the two beams??[7]
