Given is a thin convex lens of glass (refractive index $\mu$) and each side having radius of curvature $R$. One side is polished for complete reflection. At what distance from the lens,an object be placed on the optic axis so that the image gets formed on the object itself?

  • A
    $R / \mu$
  • B
    $R / (2\mu - 3)$
  • C
    $\mu R$
  • D
    $R / (2\mu - 1)$

The figure shows an equiconvex lens (of refractive index $1.50$) in contact with a liquid layer on top of a plane mirror. $A$ small needle with its tip on the principal axis is moved along the axis until its inverted image is found at the position of the needle. The distance of the needle from the lens is measured to be $45.0 \; cm$. The liquid is removed and the experiment is repeated. The new distance is measured to be $30.0 \; cm$. What is the refractive index of the liquid?

The flat face of a plano-convex lens of focal length $10 \,cm$ is silvered. $A$ point source placed $30 \,cm$ in front of the curved surface will produce a

$A$ plano-convex lens of refractive index $1.5$ and radius of curvature $30 \; cm$ is silvered at the curved surface. Now this lens has been used to form the image of an object. At what distance from this lens should an object be placed in order to have a real image of the size of the object (in $; cm$)?

An equiconvex lens of glass of focal length $0.1 \text{ m}$ is cut along a plane perpendicular to the principal axis into two equal parts. The ratio of the focal lengths of the new lenses formed is
