Answer:
Correct Answer: 89.(d)
Solution:
Formula:
Refraction at Spherical Thin Lens:
When given set up is immersed in water, focal length of lens decreases,
Note
$\quad$ Now, $n _{g a}=\frac{3}{2}$ and $n _{l a}=\frac{4}{3}$
$ \therefore f _{\text {liquid }}=f _{\text {air }} \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{8}}=4 f _{\text {air }} $
As focal length increases there is no focussing of image on screen
$\therefore$ image will disappear
Actually a virtual image is formed on the same side of the object.
