A converging lens with focal length f = 30 cm and n = 1.5, is inserted into a transparent optical environment with n' = 1.6. Find out new lens focal length and interpret the result

A converging lens with focal length f = 30 cm and n = 1.5, is inserted into a transparent optical environment with n' = 1.6. Find out new lens focal length and interpret the result.



Solution

When lens is in the air:







When the lens is inserted into the new environment:




















Since f ' is negative, this means that the nature of the lens changes,  it becomes divergent.
