You also need to know the index of refraction. For glass, that is usually somewhere around 1.5.
The Wikipedia article on "Lens (optics)" includes the "Lensmaker's equation"; usually you can use the "thin lens equation" (further down in the article) as a convenient approximation.
Since for this question you don't know the radius of curvature, and the equation includes two radii of curvature (for the two surfaces), I suggest that you make one of the following simplifying assumptions:
1) Either assume that the lens has two surfaces of equal curvature (note: for the equation in the Wikipedia article, the signs would be opposite for both sides),
2) Or, assume that the lens has one flat side and one curved side.
radius of curvature = 2Focal length
The radius is excatly half of the diameter
radius = diameter/2
yes it is!
It is the diameter which is twice the radius giving a length of 8 cm
radius of curvature = 2Focal length
The length of a radius is not the length of a diameter. The diameter is two times the length of the radius.
Radius of curvature divided by tube diameter. To get the radius of curvature, imaging the bend in the tube is a segment of a circle, the radius of curvature is the radius of that circle.
The curvature of the radius of a lens affects its focal length and optical power. A lens with a shorter radius of curvature will have a shorter focal length and higher optical power, while a lens with a larger radius of curvature will have a longer focal length and lower optical power.
In a concave mirror, the radius of curvature is twice the focal length.
The length of a radius is half the length of a diameter.
The length of a radius of a circle is half of the diameter of the same circle. So, diameter is always twice the radius.
The length of the diameter is always twice the length of the radius.
There is a specific formula for finding the radius of a curvature, used often when one is measuring a mirror. The formula is: Radius of curvature = R =2*focal length.
The radius is 1/2 of the diameter. A diameter of 10 has a radius of 5.
No, the focal length and radius of curvature of a lens cannot be the same. The radius of curvature is twice the focal length for a lens. This relationship is based on the geometry of the lens and the way light rays converge or diverge when passing through it.
The radius is excatly half of the diameter
