The convex surface of a thin concavo-convex lens of glass of refractive index 1.5 has a radius of curvature 20 cm. The concave surface has a radius of curvature 60 cm. The convex side is silvered and placed on a horizontal surface. Where should a pin be placed on the axis so that its image is formed at the same place?

The convex surface of a thin concavo-convex lens of glass of refractive index 1.5 has a radius of curvature 20 cm. The concave surface has a radius of curvature 60 cm. The convex side is silvered and placed on a horizontal surface.

 If the concave part is filled with water of refractive index 4/3, find the distance through which the pin should be moved so that the image of the pin again coincides with the pin. The focal length of glass and mirror is 60 cm and 10 cm.

A Plano-convex lens has a thickness of 4 cm. When placed on horizontal table, 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 invested such that the plane face is in contact with the table, the apparent depth of the centre of plane face is found to be 258 cm. Find the focal length of the lens.

A convex lens of focal length 15 cm and a concave mirror of focal length 30 cm are kept with their optic axis PQ and RS parallel but separated in vertical direction by 0.6 cm as shown in Fig. The distance between the lens and mirror is 30 cm. An upright object AB of height 1.2 cm is placed on the optic axis PQ of the lens at a distance of 20 cm from the lens. If A'B' is the image after refraction from the lens and reflection from the mirror, find the distance A'B' from the pole of the mirror and obtain its magnification. Also locate positions of A' and B' with respect to optic axis RS .

A thin biconvex lens of refractive index 32 is placed on a horizontal plane mirror as shown in Fig. The space between the lens and the mirror is then filled with water of refractive index 43. It is found that when a point object is placed 15 cm above the lens on its principal axis, the object coincides with its own image. On repeating with another liquid, the object and the image again coincide at distance 25 cm from the lens. Calculate the refractive index of the liquid.
