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?

A transparent thin film of uniform thickness and refractive index n1=1.4 is coated on the convex spherical surface of radius R at one end of a long solid glass cylinder of refractive index n2=1.5, as shown in the figure. Rays of light parallel to the axis of the cylinder traversing through the film from air to glass get focused at distance f from the film, while rays of light traversing from glass to air get focused at distance f2 from the film, then:
