a converging lens made of crown glass has a focal length of 15.0cm when used in air. if the lens is immersed in water, what is its focal length?
Added by Allison F.
Step 1
We know that the focal length of the lens in air is 15.0cm. This means that when parallel light rays pass through the lens, they converge at a point 15.0cm away from the lens. Show more…
