An equi-convex lens of focal length \(50~\text{cm}\) and an equi-concave lens of the same focal length are placed \(50~\text{cm}\) apart, with a common principal axis. A point object is placed on the principal axis of the system, at a distance of \(100~\text{cm}\) in front of the convex lens (see figure). The final image is formed at:
| 1. | \(100~\text{cm}\) in front of the concave lens |

An equiconvex lens of focal length \(100\) cm is split into two plano-convex lenses and the plane surface of one of these lenses is silvered. This acts as a:

Hints
Two identical equilateral triangular prisms, each of which gives a minimum deviation of \(60^{\circ}\) are taken: call these prisms \(A,B\). These are placed as shown in the figure, and a ray of light is incident on prism \(A\) at minimum deviation. Now prism \(B\) is cut in half, along the dotted line, and the right half is removed. The deviation of the emerging ray is:
| 1. | \(90^{\circ}\) | 2. | \(45^{\circ}\) |
| 3. | \(60^{\circ}\) | 4. | \(30^{\circ}\) |

The following diagram shows light travelling from \(A\) to \(B\) after bouncing off a plane mirror at \(P.\) The time taken is \(t_{APB} .\) If, however, light were to take a different path, \(AQB\) (shown by the dotted line), the time taken is \(t_{AQB}.\)
