$A$ biconvex lens of focal length $f$ and radii of curvature of both surfaces $R$ is made of a material of refractive index $n_{1}$. This lens is placed in a liquid of refractive index $n_{2}$. How will this lens behave?

  • A
    Either as a convex or as a concave lens depending solely on $R$
  • B
    $A$ convex lens depending on $n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$
  • C
    $A$ concave lens depending on $n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$
  • D
    $A$ convex lens of same focal length irrespective of $R, n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$

$A$ converging beam of rays is incident on a diverging lens. Having passed through the lens,the rays intersect at a point $15\, cm$ from the lens on the opposite side. If the lens is removed,the point where the rays meet will move $5\, cm$ closer to the lens. The focal length of the lens is $......\, cm$.
