c. Rays bend less when they move through lens.
d. There is no change in radius of curvature.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A b, c, d
  2. B b, c

  4. D a, c
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) a, c, d

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{1}{f} \propto (\frac{n_{lens}}{n_{medium}} - 1) \) As \( n_{water} > n_{air} \), the term \( (\frac{n_{lens}}{n_{water}} - 1) \) is smaller than \( (\frac{n_{lens}}{n_{air}} - 1) \). Therefore, \( \frac{1}{f_{water}} f_{air} \). Statement (a) is true. Bending of rays…
