A plano-convex lens (focal length f2. refractive index n2, radius of curvature R) fits exactly into a plano-concave lens (focal length f1’ refractive index n1, radius of curvature R). Their plane surfaces are parallel to each other. Then, the focal length of the combination will be:

An object is at a distance of 20 m from a convex lens of focal length 0.3 m. The lens forms an image of the object. If the object moves away from the lens at a speed of 5 ms, the speed and direction of the image will be:

Two similar thin equi-convex lenses, of focal length f each, are kept coaxially in contact with each other such that the focal length of the combination is f1. When the space between the two lenses is filled with glycerine (which has the same refractive index (n=1.5) as that of glass) then the equivalent focal length is f2. The ratio f1:f2 will be:

A thin convex lens L (refractive index =1.5) is placed on a plane mirror M. When a pin is placed at A, such that OA=18 cm, its real inverted image is formed M at A itself, as shown in figure. When a liquid of refractive index n1 is put between the lens and the mirror. The pin has to be moved to A, such that OA=27 cm, to get its inverted real image at A itself. The value of n1 will be:

A convex lens (of focal length 20 cm) and a concave mirror, having their principal axes along the same lines, are kept 80 cm apart from each other. The concave mirror is to the right of the convex lens. When an object is kept at a distance of 30 cm to the left of the convex lens, its image remains at the same position even if the concave mirror is removed. The maximum distance of the object for which this concave mirror, by itself would produce a virtual image would be:

A plano-convex lens is made of a material of refractive index n. When a small object is placed 30 cm away in front of the curved surface of the lens, an image of double the size of the object is produced. Due to reflection from the convex surface of the lens, another faint image is observed at a distance of 10 cm away from the lens. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) true?
