On a hot summer night, the refractive index of air is smallest near the ground and increases with height from the ground. When a light beam is directed horizontally, the Huygens’ principle leads us to conclude that as it travels, the light beam:

  • goes horizontally without any deflection

  • bends downwards

  • bends upwards

  • bends upwards

A thin convex lens made from crown glass open parentheses straight mu space equals space 3 over 2 close parentheses has focal length f. When it is measured in two different liquids having refractive indices 4/3 and 5/3, it has the focal lengths f1 and f2 respectively. The correct

  •  f1  = f2 <f

  •  f1  >f and f2 becomes negative

  •  f2  >f and f1 becomes negative

  •  f2  >f and f1 becomes negative


B.

 f1  >f and f2 becomes negative

according to lens maker's formula, when the lens in the air.


In case of liquid, where refractive index is 4/3 and 5/3
we get
Focal length in first liquid



⇒ f1 is positive.


Focal length in second liquid
