Assertion: A convex lens behaves as a diverging lens when placed in a medium of refractive index greater than the refractive index of its material.
Reason: Light in that case will travel through the convex lens from denser to rarer medium. It will bend away from normal, i.e. the convex lens would diverge the rays and behave as diverging lens.
