    A bi-convex lens made of glass (refractive index 1.5) is put in a liquid of refractive index 1.7. Its focal length will [UPSEAT 2004]

    A)            Decrease and change sign

    B)            Increase and change sign

    C)            Decrease and remain of the same sign

    D)            Increase and remain of the same sign

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       \[\frac{{{f}_{l}}}{{{f}_{a}}}=\frac{_{a}{{\mu }_{g}}-1}{_{l}{{\mu }_{g}}-1}=\frac{(1.5-1)\times 1.7}{(1.5-1.7)}\]            \[\Rightarrow {{f}_{l}}=\frac{0.85}{-0.2}\]\[{{f}_{a}}=-\,4.25\,{{f}_{a}}\].
