To solve the problem, we will use the lens maker's formula and the relationship between power and focal length. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the given information - The refractive index of the glass lens, \( \mu_1 = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \). - The power of the lens, \( P = 5 \, D \). - The focal length when in air, \( f_1 \). - The lens behaves like a divergent lens when immersed in a liquid of refractive index \( \mu \), with a focal length \( f_2 = -1 \, m \). ...
