Yes. The refractive indexes of both materials ... the substance of which the lens

is made and the medium outside of the lens ... are both involved in the geometry

of the ray path.

How focal length of a lens change when apparatus immersed in water?

The focal length of a lens decreases when it is immersed in water due to the change in the refractive index of the medium. This change causes the light rays passing through the lens to bend differently, altering the focal point of the lens.


What is the lens focal length formula used to calculate the focal length of a camera lens?

The lens focal length formula used to calculate the focal length of a camera lens is: Focal Length (Distance between lens and image sensor) / (1 (Distance between lens and object) / (Distance between lens and object))


Length of a lens is the distance from the center of the lens to its principal focus?

It is called the focal length. It is equal to 1/2 times r, and is positive on concave mirrors and negative on convex mirrors.


How do you find the new focal length when the lence is put in to the water?

to find the new focal length when the lens is put into water it becomes the 4 times the focal length in air.


Does a diverging lens have a focal length?

Yes, a diverging lens does have a focal length. The focal length of a diverging lens is negative, as the light rays diverge after passing through the lens.


The distance from lens to focal point is called?

The distance from a lens to the focal point is called the focal length.


Explain how the focal length changes as a convex lens becomes flatter?

The focal length of a lens is the distance from the center of the lens to the point at which it focuses light rays. The bigger the focal length, the more powerful the lens. ChaCha!


Does the focal length of a spherical mirror or lens change when placed under water?

i do not think so because a mirror an a lens is two same things except that mirrors can reflect the water and the lens may refract or bend the water so that can change the focal length between the mirror and the lens


Does the focal lens length have three classifications?

yes, focal lens length has three classifications


What will happen to the focal length of a lens if it is cut into half vertically?

When the lens is cut vertically then the focal length of the lens will increase.the focal length will become approx double.


Which lens has a greater power convex lens of focal length 10 cm or a convex lens of focal length 20cm?

Power is inversely related to the focal length. So convex lens of focal length 20 cm has less power compared to that having focal length 10 cm


Magnifying power of simple microscope can be increased by?

Increasing the focal length of the lens or using a lens with a shorter focal length can increase the magnifying power of a simple microscope. Using a lens with a higher refractive index can also enhance the magnification. Additionally, increasing the distance between the lens and the object being observed can improve the magnification.
