When a biconvex lens of glass having ref...

When a biconvex lens of glass having refractive index `1.47` is dipped in a liquid, it acts as a plane sheet of glass. This implies that the liquid must have refractive index.

A

less than that of glass

B

equal to that of glass

C

less than one

D

greater than that of glass

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

There is no reflection and refraction because light does not experience any chagne of medium or polished surface of refraction and reflection will not occur as a result refractive index of lilquid is same as refractive index of convex lens.
