The focal length of a glass \((\mu = 1.5)\) lens in air is \(20~\text{cm}.\) If it is dipped in water \(\left(\mu= \frac{4}{3}\right)\) its focal length in water will be:
1. \(80~\text{cm}\) 2. \(40~\text{cm}\)
3. \(60~\text{cm}\) 4. \(20~\text{cm}\)

A plane-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. \(\frac{R}{2(\mu_1-\mu_2)}\)
3. \(\frac{R}{(\mu_1-\mu_2)}\) 4. \(\frac{2R}{(\mu_2-\mu_1)}\)
