According space to space lens space makers space formula : 1 over straight f subscript water equals open square brackets straight n subscript 2 over straight n subscript 1 minus 1 close square brackets open square brackets 1 over straight R subscript 1 minus 1 over straight R subscript 2 close square brackets  1 over straight f subscript water equals open square brackets fraction numerator 1.5 over denominator 1.33 end fraction minus 1 close square brackets open square brackets 1 over straight R subscript 1 minus 1 over straight R subscript 2 close square brackets 1 over straight f subscript water equals 0.128 space open square brackets 1 over straight R subscript 1 minus 1 over straight R subscript 2 close square brackets space minus minus minus minus minus minus minus minus minus left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis  Dividing space left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis space by space left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis space we space get : straight f subscript water over 20 equals fraction numerator 0.5 over denominator 0.128 end fraction rightwards double arrow straight f subscript water space equals fraction numerator 0.5 over denominator 0.128 end fraction cross times 20 rightwards double arrow straight f subscript water space equals 78.125 space cm straight i. straight e space focal space length space in space water space equals space 78.125 space cm Therefore space change space in space focal space length space of space the space lens space when space it space is space immersed space in space water space equals space 78.125 space cm space minus space 20 space cm space equals 58.125 space cm end style
