A thin converging lens of unknown focal length is placed in air. An object is positioned \(25\ \text{cm}\) in front of the lens and a sharp real image is formed on a screen \(75\ \text{cm}\) behind the lens. (a) Find the focal length of the lens in air. (b) The same lens is now immersed in water (refractive index \(n_{\text{water}} = 1.33\)). The lens material has refractive index \(n_{\text{lens}} = 1.50\). Keeping the object at the same \(25\ \text{cm}\) distance (measured in water), determine the position of the image formed (state the image distance from the lens and indicate whether the image is real or virtual).

Answer Options

A. f_air ≈ 22.5 cm; in water the image is virtual, 45 cm in front of the lens
B. f_air ≈ 18.8 cm; in water the image is virtual, 30 cm in front of the lens
Correct Answer C. f_air ≈ 18.8 cm; in water the image is virtual, 38 cm in front of the lens
D. f_air ≈ 15.0 cm; in water the image is real, 38 cm behind the lens
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
f_air ≈ 18.8 cm; in water the image is virtual, 38 cm in front of the lens
