A thin converging glass lens made of glass with refractive index 1.5 has a power of +5.0 D. When this lens is immersed in a liquid of refractive index n, it acts as a divergent lens of focal length 100 cm. What must be the value of n?

Solution :`(1)/(F)=[(n_(2))/(n_(a))-1][(1)/(R_(1))-(1)/(R_(2))]`
`p=(1)/(f)=5andn_(2)=1.5,n_(a)=1,f=20cm`
`(1)/(20)=[(1.5)/(1)-1][(1)/(R_(1))-(1)/(R_(2))]`
`(1)/(20)=0.5[(1)/(R_(1))-(1)/(R_(2))]`
`(1)/(f_(1))=[(n_(2))/(n_(1))-1][(1)/(R_(1))-(1)/(R_(2))]`
`p=(1)/(f_(1))=1,(1)/(f_(1))=-100cm,n_(2)=1.5,n_(1)=n`
`(1)/(-100)=[(1.5)/(n)-1][(1)/(R_(1))-(1)/(R_(2))]`
Ratio of equation `(2) DIV (1)`
`(1)/(-5)=(((1.5)/(n)-1))/(0.5)`
`-(0.5)/(5) = (1.5)/(n) - 1`
`0.9 = (1.5)/(n)`
`n = (1.5)/(0.9) = (5)/(3)`
