Explain how a conex lens behaves as converging lens and diverging lens |
|
Answer» The ability of a LENS to act as converging or diverging depends upon its refractive index. The refractive index n of the material of a lens depends upon the medium in which the lens is placed. Generally the lens is in air so n gives refractive index of material of lens with respect to air. If you PLACE the CONVEX lens in a medium other than air, then due to change in n, the focal length f of lens changes. if n decreases, f increases. |
