If the lens you tested were placed underwater (ηwater = 1.33) and you measured the focal length again, should it increase, decrease, or remain unchanged?
(Explain why, conceptually) By what factor would f change by?
When a lens is immersed in water, the focal length increases.
The relative refractive index of glass with respect to water is less than that of glass with respect to air.
[ Let n be the refractive index of glass, then
where 1.33 is the refractive index of water and 1 is the refractive index of air.]
Hence, the bending of light at the interface of glass- water is lesser and hence a parallel beam of light falling on the lens is bent less to meet at point on the principal axis. So the lens has more focal length in water than in air.
[Refractive index for lens immersed in water is less than that of lens in air, so according to the refractive index value, focal length will shift. ]

If light passing through a convex lens reaches its focal point 12.5 cm from the lens, what is the refractive power of...
A converging lens has 31.4 cm focal length, and is placed 21.0 cm behind a diverging lens. Parallel light strikes the diverging lens. After passing through the converging lens, the light is again parallel. What is the focal length of the diverging lens in cm? (Hint: draw a ray diagram)
Review Constants Part A An underwater camera has a lens of focal length 35.0 mm and a maximum aperture of f/2.80. The film it uses has an emulsion that is sensitive to light of frequency 6.10x1014 Hz . If the photographer takes a picture of an object 3.10 m in front of the camera with the lens wide open. What is the width of the smallest resolvable detail on the subject if the object is a fish underwater with the...
An object is placed 14.0 cm in front of a lens of focal length 5.08 cm. Another lens of focal length 4.48 cm is placed 1.83 cm past the first lens. Where is the final image (how far past the lens with focal length 4.48 cm)? 2.59 cm You are correct. Your receipt no. is 158-1618 Priwinuti Tiit Is it real or virtual? Incorrect The image is virtual Correct: The image is real You are correct. Your receipt no. is...
determine how far in front of the lens the object should be placed.. You place an object 19.6 cm in front of a diverging lens which has a focal length with a magnitude of 14.2 cm. Determine how far in front of the lens the object should be placed in order to produce an image that is reduced by a factor of 4.35.
You place an object 21.4 cm in front of a diverging lens which has a focal length with a magnitude of 10.0 cm. Determine how far in front of the lens the object should be placed in order to produce an image that is reduced by a factor of 4.45. _____ cm
What focal-length lens would you need to place next to a converging lens of focal length 35 cm to create an effective focal length of 18 cm for the combination?
A converging lens with a focal length of 20cm is placed between a lighted candle and a white wall that is 100cm from the candle. A sharp image of the candle is visible on the wall. How far from the wall is the lens? There are two correct answers and you should give both of them.
A concave lens has a focal length of -36 cm. Find the image distance and magnification that results when an object is placed 19 cm in front of the lens. (Use the proper sign convention for both quantities.) When an object is located 61 cm to the left of a lens, the image is formed 25 cm to the right of the lens. What is the focal length of the lens? An object with a height of 2.22 cm is...
An object is placed a distance of twice the focal length away from a diverging lens. What is the magnification of the image? A:+2/3 B:-3/2 C:+3/2 D:-2/3 E:+1/3 F:-1/3 -An explanation would be appreciated
