A plano-convex lens of refractive index n1 and focal length f1 is kept in contact with another plano-concave lens of refractive index n2 and focal length f2. If the radius of curvature of their spherical faces is R each and f1=2f2, then n1 and n2 are related as:

The eye can be regarded as a single refracting surface. The radius of curvature of this surface is equal to that of cornea (7.8 mm). This surface separates two media of refractive indices 1 and 1.34. Calculate the distance from the refracting surface at which a parallel beam of light will come to focus:

A convex lens is put 10 cm from a light source and it makes a sharp image on a screen, kept 10 cm from the lens. Now a glass block (refractive index 1.5) of 1.5 cm thickness is placed in contact with the light source. To get the sharp image again, the screen is shifted by a distance d. Then d is:

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:
