Question


A convex lens made of glass of μ=1.5 has a focal length f in air. When it is completely immersed in a liquid of μ =2 its focal length and nature will be:
  1. 2f, converging
  2. 3f, converging
  3. 2f, diverging
  4. 3f, diverging

A
3f, converging
B
3f, diverging
C
2f, converging
D
2f, diverging
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Let k=1R11R2

So, 1f=(μ1)k

or, 1f=(321)k

or, k= 2f
