Detailed Solution

When it is immersed in water it will behave as A convex lens of focal length greater than 10 cm.
The focal length of a convex lens =10cm
Focal length of a lens is given by:
1f=(μ-μ')[1R1-1R2] (len’s marker formula)
Where μ=refractive index of lens
μ'=refractive index of surrounding medium
R1  R2=Radius of curvature of two sides of lens
Now, f∞1(μ-μ') Since μ' for water is greater than that of air So, (μ-μ') decreases And So, f increases in water
