Physics Question on Ray optics and optical instruments

A convex lens of refractive index 1515 and focal length 18cm18 \,cm in air is immersed in water. The change in focal length of the lens will be_______ cm (Given refractive index of water =43\frac{4}{3})

Answer

The correct answer is 54.
fH2​O​I​=(μH2​O​μg​​−1)(R2​)
=81​(R2​)
=(4fair​)1​
So, fH2​O​=4fair ​=72cm
So change in focal length =72−18=54cm
