Important Questions on Refraction of Light at Spherical Surfaces : Lenses
A spherical surface of radius of curvature separates air (refractive index ) from glass (refractive index ). The centre of curvature is in the glass. A point-object P placed in air is found to have a real image in the glass. The line cuts the surface at a point and . The distance is equal to:

A thin convex lens made from crown glass has focal Iength . When it is measured in two different liquids having refractive indices and , it has the focal lengths and respectively. The correct relation between the focal lengths is:

A bi-convex lens of focal length is in front of a plane mirror. The distance between the lens and the mirror is . A small object is kept at a distance of from the lens. The final image is:



A lens is formed by pressing mutually the plane faces of two identical plano-convex lenses, each of focal length . It is used to obtain a real, inverted image of the same size as the object. The object is placed from the lens at a distance of:

Two thin lenses of focal lengths and are in contact and coaxial. The power of the combination is:

The image of an object, formed by a plano-convex lens at a distance of behind the lens, is real and is one-third the size of the object. The wavelength of light inside the lens is times the wavelength in free space. The radius of the curved surface of the lens is:
