A convex lens is made of a material having refractive index \(1.2.\) Both the surfaces of the lens are convex. If it is dipped into water (\(\mu=1.33 \) ), it will behave like:

1. a convergent lens 2. a divergent lens
3. a rectangular slab 4. a prism

When a biconvex lens of glass having a refractive index of \(1.47\) is dipped in a liquid, it acts as a plane sheet of glass. The liquid must have a refractive index:

1. equal to that of glass.
2. less than one.
3. greater than that of glass.
4. less than that of glass.

A plano-convex lens of refractive index \(\mu_1\) and focal length \(f_1\) is kept in contact with another plano-concave lens of refractive index \( \mu_2\) and focal length \(f_2.\) If the radius of curvature of their spherical faces is \(R \) each and \(|f_1|=2|f_2|, \) then \(\mu_1\) and\( \mu_2\) are related as: 
1. \(\mu_1+\mu_2=3 \)
2. \(2\mu_1-\mu_2=1 \)
3. \(3\mu_2+\mu_1=1 \)
4. \(2\mu_2+\mu_1=1 \)
