A biconvex lens of focal length $f$ and radii of curvature of both the surfaces $R$ is made of a material of refractive index $n_1$. This lens is placed in a liquid of refractive index $n_2$. Now this lens will behave like
- either as a convex or as a concave len depending solely on R
- a convex lens depending on $n_1$ and $n_2$
- a concave lens depending on $n_1$ and $n_2$
- a convex lens of same focal length irrespective of R, $n_1$ and $n_2$
The Correct Option is C

Concepts Used:
Ray Optics and Optical Instruments
Optics, deals with the determination of behaviour and the properties of light, along with its interactions with the matter and also with the instruments that are used to detect it.
Ray optics is also known as the geometrical optics and it is a branch of science which describes light propagation.
Reflection is the change in direction of light at an interface in-between two different media so that the wave-front returns into a medium from which it was originated.
Speed of light is the rate at which the light travels in free space.
A phenomenal change in image formed when the light is passed from one medium to another which is called Refraction.
Total Internal Reflection is the reflection of light when the light ray enters into a rarer medium from a denser medium and the angle of incidence is higher than the critical angle of incidence then that light ray will be reflected back to the denser medium.
