To solve the problem of finding the change in the focal length of a convex lens when it is immersed in water, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given data - Refractive index of the lens (n_lens) = 1.5 - Focal length of the lens in air (f_air) = 20 cm - Refractive index of water (n_water) = 4/3 ### Step 2: Use the Lensmaker's Formula ...
