What is the Nature of a convex lens immersed in a liquid with a refractive index same as of glass?
The "nature" of it is the same as if it weren't immersed. However, if it has the same refractive index as the material it's immersed in, it will no longer have any discernable effect on the refraction of light; from the outside it will appear to just be another part of the liquid (it may well disappear from sight, since it's no longer visually distinguishable from the liquid itself).
Why does a spoon appear bent when immersed in a half filled glass of water?
A pencil in water looks bent because of refraction. when light enters a substance with a different density than the one it came out of, the light either slows down or speeds up. this makes the light appear bent. If there is a pencil in the water, it appears bent because the light is traveling at different speeds through water and air.
What is Diffraction grating experiment?
diffraction grating is a lik a plate on which many slits are present....light undergoes diffraction through the slits...diffraction grating then splits light into its conctituent colours which appear with spaces between them..
