In the figure shown, O is a point object placed in the air on the axis of a spherical surface APB of a glass block. OA is an incident ray. The direction of the refracted ray AD in the glass block is parallel to the principal axis PC. CP=CA=R is the radius of the spherical surface. Use the formula n2vn1u=n2n1R to show that the object distance PO=u=R(n1); where n2=n and n1=1.

A convex lens L and plane mirror M are arranged as shown in figure. Position of the object pin O is adjusted in such a way that the inverted image I formed by the lens mirror combinations, coincides with the object pin O. Explain how and when this happens.

The radii of curvature of both the surfaces of a convex lens are equal. Prove that the focal length of the lens will be equal to its radius of curvature if the refractive index of the material of the lens is 1.5.
