A concave mirror of focal length \(f\) produces an image \(n\) times the size of the object. If the image is real, then the distance of the object from the mirror is:
1. \((n-1)f\)
2. \(\frac{(n-1)}{n}f\)
3. \(\frac{(n+1)}{n}f\)
4. \((n+1)f\)

A plane mirror is placed horizontally inside water \(\left(\mu = \frac{4}{3}\right)\). A ray falls normally on it. Then the mirror is rotated through an angle \(\theta\). The minimum value of \(\theta\) for which the ray does not come out of the water surface is:
1. \(\dfrac{\pi}{4}\) 2. \(\sin^{- 1} \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)\)
3. \(\frac{1}{2} \sin^{- 1} \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)\) 4. \(2\sin^{- 1} \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)\)

A concave mirror of the focal length \(f_1\) is placed at a distance of \(d\) from a convex lens of focal length \(f_2\). A beam of light coming from infinity and falling on this convex lens-concave mirror combination returns to infinity. The distance \(d\) must be equal to:
1. \(f_1 +f_2\)
2. \(-f_1 +f_2\)
3. \(2f_1 +f_2\)
4. \(-2f_1 +f_2\)
