Question

A thin bi-convex lens made out of a material of refractive index μ 1 is placed in a medium of refractive index μ 2 . A paraxial beam of light, parallel to the principal axis of the lens, is shown in the figure. Based on the ray diagram, we can conclude that, μ 1 > μ 2, μ 1 ≤ μ 2, μ 1 = μ 2, μ 1 μ 2

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

A bi-convex lens acts as a diverging lens when it is placed in a denser medium.
