1.	The refractive index of convex lens material is 1.46. The refractive index of Benzene and water is 1.5 and 1.0 respectively. How does the lens behaves when it is kept in Benzene and water? Given and write.
Answer» 1. When the convex lens with refractive index 1.46 is kept in Benzene with refractive index 1.5, then the lens acts as a diverging lens. 2. If the same lens is kept in water whose refractive index is 1, then it acts as a converging lens.

1. When the convex lens with refractive index 1.46 is kept in Benzene with refractive index 1.5, then the lens acts as a diverging lens.

2. If the same lens is kept in water whose refractive index is 1, then it acts as a converging lens.
