A thin bi-convex lens made out of a material of refractive index μ 1 is placed in a medium of refractive index μ 2 . A paraxial beam of light, parallel to the principal axis of the lens, is shown in the figure. Based on the ray diagram, we can conclude that
Options
- Aμ 1 > μ 2
- Bμ 1 ≤ μ 2
- Cμ 1 = μ 2
- Dμ 1 < μ 2
Correct answer
D. μ 1 < μ 2
Step-by-step solution
A bi-convex lens acts as a diverging lens when it is placed in a denser medium.
