What is the effect on the focal length of a convex lens when it is immersed in a liquid whose refractive index is equal to refractive index of the lens? |
Focal length will become infinity Focal length will become zero Focal length will reduce but not become zero Focal length remains unchanged |
Focal length will become infinity |
$\frac{1}{f} = (\frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1} - 1)(\frac{1}{R_2} - \frac{1}{R_1})$ Here $\mu_2 =\mu_1$ $\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f} = 0$ $f \rightarrow \infty$ A convex lens is dipped in a liquid whose refractive index is equal to the refractive index of the lens. Then its focal length will. become infinite.
