MEDIUM
A hollow lens is made of thin glass and in the shape of a double concave lens. It can be filled with air, water of refractive index 1.33 or CS2 of refractive index 1.6. It will act a diverging lens if it is

Which of the following lenses would you prefer to use while reading very small letters?

EASY
A point source of light is placed at 2 f from a converging lens of focal length f. A flat mirror is placed on the other side of the lens at a distance d such that rays reflected from the mirror are parallel after passing through the lens again. If f=30 cm, then d is equal to

A convex lens shown in the figure is made up of two types of transparent materials. A point sources of light is placed on its principal axis. If reflections from the boundaries between layers are ignored, the lens will form

MEDIUM
A planoconvex lens has thickness of 4 cm. When placed on a horizontal table, with the curved surface in contact with it, the apparent depth of the bottom most point of the lens is found to be 3 cm. If the lens is inverted such that the plane face is in contact with the table, the apparent depth of the centre of the plane face is found to be 258 cm. The focal length of the lens is (assume thickness of lens to be negligible)
EASY
A convex lens is dipped in a liquid whose refractive index is equal to the refractive index of the lens. Then, its focal length will
MEDIUM
An optical device is constructed by fixing three identical convex lenses of focal lengths 10 cm each inside a hollow tube at an equal spacing of 30 cm each. One end of the device is placed 10 cm away from a point source. How much does the image shift when the device is moved away from the source by another 10 cm?

Four bulbs; red, green, white and blue (denoted by R, G, W and B respectively) are kept in front of a converging lens (as shown in the figure below). The observer sees that the green and blue bulbs are kept to the left of the principle axis while the red and white bulbs are kept to the right of the principle axis. He also sees that the red and green bulbs are above the principle axis while the white and blue bulbs are below the principle axis. The screens S1 and S2 are set at appropriate positions for the focusing to view the images.

Choose the figure that correctly represents the images as seen by the observer.

The word KVPY is written on a board and viewed through different lenses such that board is at a distance beyond the focal length of the lens.

Question Image

Ignoring magnification effects, consider the following statements.
(I) First image has been viewed from the planar side of a plano-concave lens and second image from the planar side of a plano-convex lens.
(II) First image has been viewed from the concave side of a plano-concave lens and second image from the convex side of a plano-convex lens.
(III) First image has been viewed from the concave side of a plano-concave lens and second image from the planar side of a plano-convex lens.
(IV) First image has been viewed from the planar side of a plano-concave lens and second image from the convex side of a plano-convexlens.
