Refraction at Curved Surfaces

An air bubble...

Question

An air bubble is formed inside water. Does it act as a converging lens or a diverging lens?

Open in App

Solution

It will act as a diverging lens. This is because the refractive index of air is less than that of water. Thus, light will diverge after passing through the bubble.
