Consider an equi-convex lens of glass $\left( \mu = \frac{3}{2} \right)$. If the temperature of the lens is increased by $40\, ^\circ C$,its focal length remains the same. The coefficient of linear expansion of glass is $2.5 \times 10^{-4} / ^\circ C$. Calculate the change in the refractive index of the glass on increasing the temperature by $40\, ^\circ C$.

  • A
    $4 \times 10^{-3}$
  • B
    $2 \times 10^{-3}$
  • C
    $5 \times 10^{-4}$
  • D
    $5 \times 10^{-3}$
