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.

When does convex lens behave as diverging lens?
When it is immersed into the liquid of refractive index greater than to that of the lens material.
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).
Can a convex lens behave as a concave lens?
yes...when the lens is immersed in a liquid whose refractive index is greater than that of the material of the lens, for example, an air bubble inside water....
How are concave and convex lens alike?
They are both made of a transparent medium with a refractive index > 1.Both have one or two sides possessing a curvature which, combined with their refractive properties, causes light rays to be deflected(convex ()> ) or (concave )(< )
What is nature of convex mirror?
Nature is of the image not of the mirro.r For Convex mirror image is virtual, erect and diminished.

Differentiate convex and non convex polygon?
A convex polygon is one with no angle greater than 180 degrees. A non-convex polygon is one that is not without such an angle.
If a smell - diameter open glass tube is partially immersed in a vessel containing mercury the surface of the mercury inside the tube will be?
convex
How can you tell whether a quadrilateral is convex or not convex?
If any of the angles is greater than 180 degrees, the quadrilateral is concave.
What is important in concave and convex mirror?
Concave and convex mirrors allow greater area of view or detailed examination of smaller areas.
What is a definition for non convex polygon?
A simple polygon that is not convex is called concave, non-convex or reentrant. A concave polygon will always have an interior angle with a measure that is greater than 180 degrees.
How do a hexagon convex look?
A convex hexagon is a plane shape bounded by six straight lines such that none of its interior angles is 180 degrees or greater.
