A liquid of refractive index \(\frac{4}{3}\) is placed between two identical planoconvex-lenses touching each other at their spherical surfaces of radius \(R\). If the refractive index of the lens is \(1.50\), then the lens behaves as:
1. a convergent with power \(P=\frac{1}{3 R}\)
2. a convergent with power \(P=\frac{1}{6 R}\)
3. a divergent with power \(P=\frac{1}{3 R}\)
4. a divergent with power \(P=\frac{1}{6 R}\)
