To explain: The reason for the non functioning of the the magnifying lens in water .

Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Magnifying lens is used to get the enlarged image of an object under observation. Normally, a convex lens is used as a magnifying lens. The magnifying power of the lens is mainly governed by the difference between the refractive index of the lens and that of its surrounding medium. When light passes from one medium to another, bending will occur only when there is a difference in the refractive index of the two media.
The difference between the refractive index of water and the lens is comparatively smaller than that of between air and lens. Hence magnifying power of lens is considerably less in water than that in air. Therefore the magnifying lens is not working very well in water as it would in air.

- Mick and Rick are twins born on Earth in the year 2175. Rick grows up to be an Earth-bound robotics technician while Mick becomes an intergalactic astronaut. Mick leaves the Earth on his first space mission in the year 2200 and travels, according to his clock, for 10 years at a speed of 0.75c. Unfortunately, at this point in his journey, the structure of his ship undergoes mechanical breakdown and the ship explodes. How old is Rick when his brother dies?arrow_forwardHi, I have canceled, why did you charge me again?arrow_forwardNo chatgpt pls will upvotearrow_forward
