$A$ plano-convex lens,when silvered at its plane surface,is equivalent to a concave mirror of focal length $28 \, cm$. When its curved surface is silvered and the plane surface is not silvered,it is equivalent to a concave mirror of focal length $10 \, cm$. Find the refractive index of the material of the lens.

An object is placed $0.1 \,m$ in front of a convex lens of focal length $20 \,cm$ made of a material of refractive index $1.5$. The surface of the lens away from the object is silvered. If the radius of curvature of the silvered surface is $22 \,cm$,then the distance of the final image from the silvered surface is (in $\,cm$)

$A$ point object is held above a thin equiconvex lens at its focus. The focal length is $0.1 \ m$ and the lens rests on a horizontal thin plane mirror. The final image will be formed at

An object is placed at a distance of $15\;cm$ from a convex lens of focal length $10\;cm$. On the other side of the lens,a convex mirror is placed such that the image formed by the combination coincides with the object itself. Find the focal length of the convex mirror if the distance between the lens and the mirror is $30\;cm$. (in $;cm$)

In the diagram given below,there are three lenses formed. Considering the negligible thickness of each of them as compared to $|R_1|$ and $|R_2|$,i.e.,the radii of curvature for the upper and lower surfaces of the glass lens,the power of the combination is:

Consider a concave mirror and a convex lens (refractive index $=1.5$) of focal length $10 \ cm$ each,separated by a distance of $50 \ cm$ in air (refractive index $=1$) as shown in the figure. An object is placed at a distance of $15 \ cm$ from the mirror. Its erect image formed by this combination has magnification $M_1$. When the setup is kept in a medium of refractive index $7/6$,the magnification becomes $M_2$. The magnitude $\left|\frac{M_2}{M_1}\right|$ is
