Since refractive index of lens is less than refractive index of surroundings, it will behave as a convex lens.

Concave lens is immersed in medium having refractive index greater than the refractive index of the material of the lens therefore it will be have such converging lens .

The lens behaves as convex. The reason is when the refractive index of a medium is more than concave lens then the nature of the lens changes to Convex from concave.

Professional theoretical physicist

from this problem we may knoq that the refractive index of the given lens is less than the refractive index of surroundings, so it will behave as a convex lens.

As the refractive index of the medium =1.65 is more than that of a concave lens =1.5 it's nature will change and lens will become a convex lens

In case of a rotational motion (Rigid body Dynamics), we can always apply Newtan's laws of motion about an axis passing through the Center of Mass of body. Why? Why can't we always apply Newtans' laws of motion about an axis about which the rigid body happens to be in pure rotation?
