Ray Optics and Optical Instruments

  1. When a biconvex lens of glass having refractive index 1.47 is dipped in a liquid, it acts as a plane sheet of glass. This implies that the liquid must have refractive index.​​​
    1. equal to that of glass
    2. less than one ​
    3. greater than that of glass
    4. less than that of glass
Correct Option: A

1
=
μg
- 1
1
-
1
fμmR1R2

If µg = µm, then
1
= (1 - 1)
1
-
1
fR1R2

1
= 0
f

⇒ f =
1
= ∞
0

This implies that the liquid must have refractive index equal to glass.
