A spherical thick shell made of transparent material is cut along its chord as shown,The smaller part will:

A

behave like a converging lens in air

B

behave like a diverging lens is air

C

behave like a parallel glass slab in air

D

behave like a prism in air

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`P=(underset(a)"mu_(g)-1)((1)/(R_(1))-(1)/(R_(2)))`
since`R_(2)gtR_(1)`,soP=(-)
