A lens is designed so that the ratio of its focal length to its radius of curvature is 1:5. Calculate the focal length if the radius is 10 cm.
💡 Hint: Look at relationships given in lens maker's formula.
Using a lens with R1=20 cm and R2=-20 cm, find the focal length for a lens of n=1.5. Show all calculations.
💡 Hint: Apply the lens maker's formula step by step to derive f.
