A convex lens of crown glass (n =1.525) ...

A convex lens of crown glass (n =1.525) will behave as a divergent lens if immersed in

A

Water (n =1.33)

B

In a medium of n = 1.525

C

Carbon disulphide n = 1.66

D

It cannot act a divergent lens

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
If `(n)_("medium") gt (n)_("lens")`, then convergent lens will behave as divergent (concave).
