Light from a point source in air falls on a spherical glass surface (refractive index,$\mu=1.5$ and radius of curvature $=50\ cm$). The image is formed at a distance of $200\ cm$ from the glass surface inside the glass. The magnitude of distance of the light source from the glass surface is . . . . . . $m$.

Parallel rays are incident on a transparent sphere along its one diameter. After refraction,these rays converge at the other end of this diameter. The refractive index of the sphere is:

Three glass cylinders of equal height $H = 30 \text{ cm}$ and same refractive index $n = 1.5$ are placed on a horizontal surface as shown in the figure. Cylinder $I$ has a flat top,cylinder $II$ has a convex top,and cylinder $III$ has a concave top. The radii of curvature of the two curved tops are same $(R = 3 \text{ m})$. If $H_1, H_2$ and $H_3$ are the apparent depths of a point $X$ on the bottom of the three cylinders,respectively,the correct statement$(s)$ is/are:
$(1) H_3 > H_1$
$(2) 0.8 \text{ cm} < (H_2 - H_1) < 0.9 \text{ cm}$
$(3) H_2 > H_3$
$(4) H_2 > H_1$

$A$ small object is embedded in a glass sphere $(\mu = 1.5)$ of radius $5.0\, cm$ at a distance $1.5\, cm$ to the left of the centre. Locate the image of the object as seen by an observer standing to the left of the sphere.

In the figure shown,$O$ is the centre of the glass sphere. When the spot $P$ on the sphere is viewed almost normally,it appears:

$A$ transparent thin film of uniform thickness and refractive index $n_1=1.4$ is coated on the convex spherical surface of radius $R$ at one end of a long solid glass cylinder of refractive index $n_2=1.5$,as shown in the figure. Rays of light parallel to the axis of the cylinder traversing through the film from air to glass get focused at distance $f_1$ from the film,while rays of light traversing from glass to air get focused at distance $f_2$ from the film. Then:
$(A)$ $|f_1|=3R$
$(B)$ $|f_1|=2.8R$
$(C)$ $|f_2|=2R$
$(D)$ $|f_2|=1.4R$
