Question:
A convergent lens will become less convergent in;
Options:
Oil
Water
Both of the above
None of these
Correct Answer:
Both of the above
Explanation:
Refractive index of oil and water both are greater than the refractive index of lens in air. Hence, the lens which was convex (focal length positive) in air will behave as a concave lens in that liquid. Hence, convex lens becomes less converging in both oil and water.
