Important Questions on Refraction at Spherical Surface and Spherical Lens

EASY
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
Question Image
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)
