Which lens thick or thin will have greater focal length

Answered by admin @



Physically, the phenomenon of refraction at a curved surface is described by the Fermat's principle. For a thick lens, the optical path lengthof the light is more, than for a thin lens, thus, the bending of light will be more in case of a thicker lens. Consequently, it has a shorter focal length.
