Two identical thin plano-convex glass lenses (refractive index = \(1.5\)) each having radius of curvature of \(20\) cm are placed with their convex surfaces in contact at the centre. The intervening space is filled with oil of a refractive index of \(1.7\). The focal length of the combination is:
1. \(-20\) cm
2. \(-25\) cm
3. \(-50\) cm
4. \(50\) cm

A plano-convex lens fits exactly into a plano-concave lens. Their plane surfaces are parallel to each other. If lenses are made of different materials of refractive indices \(\mu_1\) and \(\mu_2\) and \(R\) is the radius of curvature of the curved surface of the lenses, then the focal length of the combination is:
1. \(\frac{R}{2(\mu_1-\mu_2)}\) 2. \(\frac{R}{(\mu_1-\mu_2)}\)
3. \(\frac{2R}{(\mu_2-\mu_1)}\) 4. \(\frac{R}{2(\mu_1+\mu_2)}\)

When a biconvex lens of glass having a refractive index of \(1.47\) is dipped in a liquid, it acts as a plane sheet of glass. The liquid must have a refractive index:

1. equal to that of glass.
2. less than one.
3. greater than that of glass.
4. less than that of glass.
