As we learnt in

Lensmaker's Formula -

\frac{1}{f}= \left ( \frac{\mu _{2}}{\mu _{1}}-1 \right )\left ( \frac{1}{R_{1}}- \frac{1}{R_{2}}\right )
 

- wherein

\mu _{1}= refractive index of medium of object

\mu _{2}= refractive index of lens

R_{1}\, and \, R_{2} are radius of curvature of two surface

 

 

 

This can happen only when the refractive index of liquid is equal to refractive index of lens.
