The lens will now behave as a converging lens because its new refractive index w.r.t. water is less than one.
Class 12 Physics
Chapter 9 Ray Optics and Optical Instruments Session 2024-2025.
A biconcave lens made of a transparent material of refractive index 1.25 is immersed in water of refractive index 1.33. Will the lens behave as a converging or a diverging lens ? Give reason.

The lens will behave as a converging lens. Since the refractive index of water (1.33) is higher than that of the lens material (1.25), light will bend inward, causing the biconcave lens to act as a converging lens.
