To find the focal length of a thin lens when it is immersed in a liquid, we can use the lens maker's formula. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Lens Maker's Formula The lens maker's formula is given by: \[ \frac{1}{f} = \mu_{relative} - 1 \left( \frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2} \right) \] where: ...
