18. A thin lens made of glass with the index of refraction versus wavelength as shown in the figure. It has a focal length of magnitude 10.0 cm for green light. You shine a second laser light on the lens and find that the focal length now has a magnitude less than 10.0 cm. What color 1.545 could be the second laser? a. red b. blue c. also green d. It depends on whether the lens is converging or diverging...

(b) Draw a sketch showing the locations of...
1.) A lens is constructed using glass for which the index of refraction is 1.50 and when placed in air it has a focal length of 48 mm. Suppose the lens is placed in water. Does the focal length remain the same or change? If it changes, describe whether it is larger than or smaller than 48 mm. Explain your answer. 2.) A projector uses a convex lens to form an image of an object that is 4.0 cm tall....
