What happens to the focal length of a convex lens when it is immersed in water?
AIncreases
BDecreases
CRemains same
DBecomes zero
✓ Correct Answer: A — Increases
The relative refractive index between glass and water is less than between glass and air, reducing the bending power and increasing the focal length.
