    A convex lens made up of a material of refractive index \[{{\mu }_{1}}\]is immersed in a medium of refractive index \[{{\mu }_{2}}\]as shown in the figure. The relation between \[{{\mu }_{1}}\]and\[{{\mu }_{2}}\] is :

    A)  \[{{\mu }_{1}}<{{\mu }_{2}}\]                   

    B)  \[{{\mu }_{1}}>{{\mu }_{2}}\]

    C)  \[{{\mu }_{1}}={{\mu }_{2}}\]                   

    D)  \[{{\mu }_{1}}=\sqrt{{{\mu }_{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     In a medium of higher refractive index, a convex lens diverges a parallel beam of light, thus behaving a diverging lens. Hence, \[{{\mu }_{1}}<{{\mu }_{2}}.\]
