Q25.A convex lens of refractive index 1. 5 and focal length 18 cm in air is immersed in water. The change in focal length of the lens will be_____ cm. (Given refractive index of water = 43 )

What This Question Tests

This question requires applying the Lens Maker's formula to calculate the focal length of a convex lens in air and then in water, and subsequently determining the change in focal length.

9.3 A tank is filled with water to a height of 12.5 cm. The apparent depth of a needle lying at the bottom of the tank is measured by a microscope to be 9.4 cm. What is the refractive index of water? If water is replaced by a liquid of refractive index 1.63 up to the same height, by what distance would the microscope have to be moved to focus on the needle again?

9.4 Figures 9.27(a) and (b) show refraction of a ray in air incident at 60° with the normal to a glass-air and water-air interface, respectively. Predict the angle of refraction in glass when the angle of incidence in water is 45° with the normal to a water-glass interface [Fig. 9.27(c)]. FIGURE 9.27
