When a biconvex lens of glass having refractive index 1.47 is dipped in a liquid, it acts as a plane sheet of glass. This implies that the liquid must have refractive index

  • equal to that of glass

  • less than one

  • greater than that of glass

  • less than that of glass

Solution

A.

equal to that of glass

If biconvex lens behaves like a plane sheet, the ray will pass undeviated through it only when the medium has a same refractive index as that of a biconvex lens.
