A lens of glass is immersed in water. What will happen to its power?

The power of a lens depends on the differences in the refractive indices of the environment and the lens material. A glass lens immersed in water will loose power (a positive lens will focus at a greater distance). (This is for normal glass with refractive index greater than water - there could be glasses with refractive index less than water in which case the lens would gain power)

What will happen to a glass of water when you step out of a spacecraft on the moon?
Nothing will happen. If you step out of a vehicle on the earth carrying a glass of water, what happens? The water remains in the glass. This is because of the earth's gravity. Moon also has gravity. So water will remain in the glass. But when you tip the glass to pour the water there will be a difference.Water will fall towards the surface of the earth six times faster than it will do on the moon.

Why keep pH glass electrode immersed in water before and after use?
The pH glass electrode is immersed in water because the outer layer of glass become soft (microscopic level). The external layer become hydrated. The cations in the solution are exchanged. This process is called cation exchange method.
