Define power of a lens and write the $SI$ unit of power.

$A$ turnip sits before a thin converging lens,outside the focal point of the lens. The lens is filled with a transparent gel so that it is flexible; by squeezing its ends toward its center [as indicated in figure $(a)$],you can change the curvature of its front and rear sides. What happens to the lateral height of the image?

Define magnification for a lens and derive its expression.

An equiconvex lens of radius of curvature $14 \ cm$ is made up of two different materials. The left half and right half of the vertical portion are made up of materials with refractive indices $1.5$ and $1.2$ respectively,as shown in the figure. If a point object is placed at a distance of $40 \ cm$,calculate the image distance. (in $cm$)

$A$ rod of length $2 \text{ cm}$ makes an angle of $\frac{2 \pi}{3} \text{ rad}$ with the principal axis of a thin convex lens. The lens has a focal length of $10 \text{ cm}$ and is placed at a distance of $\frac{40}{3} \text{ cm}$ from the object as shown in the figure. The height of the image is $\frac{30 \sqrt{3}}{13} \text{ cm}$ and the angle made by it with respect to the principal axis is $\alpha \text{ rad}$. The value of $\alpha$ is $\frac{\pi}{n} \text{ rad}$,where $n$ is:

An object is placed at a distance of $10 \, cm$ from a lens. The image is formed at a distance of $20 \, cm$ behind the lens. The power of the lens is ......
