$A$ planoconvex lens becomes an optical system of $28 \, cm$ focal length when its plane surface is silvered and illuminated from left to right as shown in Fig $-A$. If the same lens is instead silvered on the curved surface and illuminated from the other side as in Fig. $-B$, it acts like an optical system of focal length $10 \, cm$. The refractive index of the material of the lens is

  • A
    $1.50$
  • B
    $1.55$
  • C
    $1.75$
  • D
    $1.51$

The two surfaces of a biconvex lens have the same radii of curvature. This lens is made of glass of refractive index $1.5$ and has a focal length $10 \ cm$ in air. The lens is cut into two equal halves along a plane perpendicular to its principal axis to yield two plano-convex lenses. The two pieces are glued such that the convex surfaces touch each other. If this combination lens is immersed in water (refractive index $= 4/3$), its focal length (in $cm$) is:

When the plane surface of a plano-convex lens is silvered,it behaves as a concave mirror of focal length $60 \ cm$. However,when the convex surface is silvered,it behaves as a concave mirror of focal length $20 \ cm$. What is the refractive index of the lens?

The distance between a convex lens and a plane mirror is $10 \, cm$. The parallel rays incident on the convex lens after reflection from the mirror form an image at the optical centre of the lens. The focal length of the lens will be.....$cm$.

$A$ 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 at $A$ itself,as shown in the figure. When a liquid of refractive index $\mu_l$ 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 $\mu_l$ will be

$A$ biconvex lens of focal length $15 \,cm$ is in front of a plane mirror. The distance between the lens and the mirror is $10 \,cm$. $A$ small object is kept at a distance of $30 \,cm$ from the lens. The final image is
