A double convex lens, lens made of a material of refractive index `mu_(1)`, is placed inside two liquids or refractive indices `mu_(2)` and `mu_(3)`, as shown. `mu_(2)gtmu_(1)gtmu_(3)`. A wide, parallel beam of light is incident on the lens from the left. The lens will give rise to

A

A single convergent beam

B

Two different convergent beams

C

Two different divergent beams

D

A convergent and a divergent beam

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
For `mu_(1) gt mu_(3)` , converging (lower half)
For `mu_(1) lt mu_(2)` , diverging (upper half).
