When a biconvex lens of glass having refractive index 1.47 is dipped in a liquid, it acts as a plane sheet of glass. This implies that the liquid must have refractive index
  1. equal to that of glass
  2. less than one
  3. greater than that of glass
  4. less than that of glass

Solution

If biconvex lens behave like plane sheet, ray will pass undeviated through it only when medium has same refractive index as that of biconvex lens.
