What is the Nature of a convex lens immersed in a liquid with refractive index greater than of glass?

Usually a convex lens made up a material with higher refractive index would act as a converging device when kept in a medium having lower refractive index such as air. But when it is kept in a liquid as said with higher refractive index then convex lens would become as a concave lens. Now it would diverge the rays entering through it right from the liquid with higher refractive index.


What is a bright halo that is near the border of a particle that is immersed in a liquid of a different refractive index?

Will the focal length of glass lens change when dipped in liquid of refractive index equal to glass?

Everything a lens does is the result of the change of refractive index at its surface.If the lens is surrounded by a medium with the same refractive index as the glass,then there is no refraction (bending) of light at the glass surface, and the lens is nolonger a lens. If you could find such a liquid, you might not even be able to see thatthere's a lens down there in it.


Refractive index of oil and water?

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).

How do you caculate the density of liquids?

Density of any liquid can be determined by weighing exact volume of liquid and dividing weight observed by the volume of liquid taken.

How can you make your spherometer more sensitive?

By using an electromagnet with a variable resister to finely-balance your spherometer's intrinsic, counter-clockwise torque--assuming that you are in the northern hemisphere. If you are in the Southern Hemisphere, then you'll simply need to reverse the polarity of your electromagnet.

The critical angle for a certain liquid-air surface is 21 degrees. Determine the index of refraction of the liquid and the speed of light in the liquid.?

Refractive index=Sin i divided by Sin r where r= angle of refractioni= angle of incidenceLight rays hitting the boundary at an angle of 23° is refracted at 90° to the normal. Therefore, r= 90 and Sin 90° = 1 . This implies that Refractive index= Sin i=Sin21°= 0.36Speed of light in liquid= Speed of light in air divided by refractive index= 300000000 Divided by 0.36= 833333333.3 m/s
