    A convex lens is made out of a substance of 1.2 refractive index. The two surfaces of lens are convex. If this lens is placed in water whose refractive index is 1.33, it will behave as -

    A) Convergent lens 

    B)        Divergent lens

    C) Plane glass plate 

    D)       Like a prism

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] The focal length of lens in water is given by \[{{f}_{\ell }}=\frac{_{a}{{\mu }_{g}}-1}{\frac{_{a}{{\mu }_{g}}}{_{a}{{\mu }_{\ell }}}-1}{{f}_{a}}=\frac{1.2-1}{\frac{1.2}{1.33}-1}{{f}_{a}}=-\frac{0.2\times 1.33}{0.13}{{f}_{a}}\] Hence f is negative and as such it behave as a divergent lens.
