Two convex lenses of focal length \(X\) and \(Y\) are placed parallel to each other. An object at infinity from the first lens forms its image at infinity from the second lens. The separation between the two lenses should be:
1. \(X+Y\) 2. \(\dfrac{X +Y}{2}\)
3. \(X-Y\) 4. \(\dfrac{X -Y}{2}\)

A liquid of refractive index \(\frac{4}{3}\) is placed between two identical planoconvex-lenses touching each other at their spherical surfaces of radius \(R\). If the refractive index of the lens is \(1.50\), then the lens behaves as:
1. a convergent with power \(P=\frac{1}{3 R}\)
2. a convergent with power \(P=\frac{1}{6 R}\)
3. a divergent with power \(P=\frac{1}{3 R}\)
4. a divergent with power \(P=\frac{1}{6 R}\)
