A block of glass has a cavity of air inside it, in the shape of a biconvex lens. A narrow parallel beam of light travels through the glass along the axis of the cavity. What does the cavity do to the beam?
It makes the beam spread out, like a diverging lens
It brings the beam to a focus, like a converging lens
It brings the beam to a focus, but further away than a glass lens would
It lets the beam pass without any change of direction

← For a demonstration, a thin glass lens of refractive index 1.5 and focal length 14 cm in air is lowered into a tank of water of refractive index 1.33. What is its focal length under the water?
Light enters a piece of glass of refractive index 1.6, shaped as a plano-convex lens, through its curved side, which has a radius of 39 cm. It is reflected by a silver coating on the flat side. Seen from the front, the piece acts as a concave mirror. What is its focal length? →
