A biconcave lens made of a transparent material of refractive index 1.25 is immersed in water of refractive index 1.33. Will the lens behave as a converging or a diverging lens? Give reason.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether a biconcave lens behaves as a converging or diverging lens when immersed in water, we need to analyze the refractive indices involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Refractive Indices**: - The refractive index of the biconcave lens (n_lens) = 1.25 - The refractive index of water (n_water) = 1.33 ...
