STANDARD Physics Refraction through lenses MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
A double convex lens, made of a material of refractive index μ₁, is placed inside two liquids of refractive indices μ₂ and μ₃ as shown. μ₂ > μ₁ > μ₃. A wide, parallel beam of light is incident on the left. The lens will give rise to
A
a single convergent beam
B
two different convergent beams
C
two different divergent beams
D
a convergent and a divergent beam.
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
As μ₂ > μ₁, the upper half of the lens will become diverging. And μ₁ > μ₃, the lower half of the lens will become converging.
