The lens labelled (A) has radii 12.5cm and 16.7cm. Using the shape of the lens to assign the signs of the radii, calculate the focal length of the lens. Give your answer with the correct positive or negative sign using the usual convention for lenses.

The focal length for given convex lens = 0.0714 m

Explanation:

Given data

Radius () = 12.5 cm

Radius () = 16.7 cm

Since the radius of curvature is positive so these are the convex lens.

Now focal length is given by

 ⇒ = +

 ⇒  Put the values of   and   in the above formula we get,

 ⇒   = +

 ⇒   = 0.13988

 ⇒ f =

 ⇒ f = 7.14 cm

 ⇒ f = 0.0714 m

Thus the focal length for given convex lens = 0.0714 m

the moon affects the earth gravitation ally, causing certain motions of that body and also producing tides in its ocean and atmosphere. the tidal wave in our atmosphere is, however, far too minute to be an effective cause in any known meteorological phenomenon.
