Question
If a thin lens is dipped in water, does its focal length change?

Answer

Yes,$\frac{1}{\text{f}_2}=\Big(\frac{\mu_2}{\mu_\text{m}}-1\Big)\Big[\frac{1}{\text{R}_1}-\frac{1}{\text{R}_2}\Big]$
Is $\mu_{\text{medium}}$ is changed focal length gets changed.

The top of the atmosphere is at about $400kV$ with respect to the surface of the earth, corresponding to an electric field that decreases with altitude. Near the surface of the earth, the field is about $100Vm^{–1}$. Why then do we not get an electric shock as we step out of our house into the open? $($Assume the house to be a steel cage so there is no field inside!$)$
