Solution

The correct option is A

continuously decrease in outward direction


The explanation for the correct answer:

(a)continuously decrease in an outward direction

A convex lens act as a prism and a glass slab only when the refracting angle of the prism decreases in an outward direction.

The explanation for the incorrect answer:

(b) continuously increases in an outward direction

On refraction in the prism, the refracting angle will not increase as the ray is moving from a denser to a rarer medium.

(c) None of these

Option (a) is correct.


A convex lens can be regarded as a set of prisms and a glass slab, such that refracting angle of the prisms continuously decrease in an outward direction.
