Helium gas is filled in a transparent balloon which is kept in air. The balloon behaves as: |
Concave lens Concave Mirror Convex lens Convex Mirror |
Concave lens |
The correct answer is Option (1) → Concave lens A Balloon filled with helium behaves like a convex lens because the helium inside has lower refractive index (μ) than the surrounding air. This causes the balloon to act as a diverging lens. |
