6. Determine the focal length in air of a thin spherical plano-convex (radius of curvature is infinite for one side and finite for the other side) lens having a radius of curvature of 50.0mm and an index of 1.5. What, if anything, would happen to the focal length if lens were placed in a tank of water? (Refractive index of water is 4/3)
