When the refractive index of glass is equal to the refractive index of the liquid

Yeah.. I checked it one of my books, here is what it said,
Refractive index is a relative quantity. When a lens is immersed in a liquid of same refractive index the RI of the lens relative to that of the liquid becomes 1. Hence it would be like looking at the liquid before immersion of the lens. i.e. the combination will have a uniform RI throughout and act as a plane slab.
Thanks for the help :)
