A convex lens made of glass (mu(g)=3//2)...

A convex lens made of glass `(mu_(g)=3//2)` has focal length f in air. The image of an object placed in front of it is inverted, real and magnified. Now the whole arrangement distance between object and lens. Then

A

the new focal length will becom 4f

B

the new focal length will become `f//4`

C

new image will be virtual and magnified

D

new image will be real, inverted and smaller in size

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a.,c.

`(1)/(f_(air))=((3)/(2)-1)((1)/(R_(1))-(1)/(R_(2)))`
`(1)/(f_(water))=((3//2)/(4//3)-1)((1)/(R_(1))-(1)/(R_(2)))`
From these two equations we get, `f_(water)=4f_(air)=4f`
In air image was inverted, real and magnified. Therefore, object was lying between f and 2f. Now the focal length has changed to 4f. Therefore, the object now lies between pole and focus. Hence, the new image will be virtual and magnified.
