There is an equi-convex glass lens with a radius of each face as \(R\) and \(\mu_{ga}= \frac{3}{2}\) and \(\mu_{wa} = \frac{4}{3}\). If there is water in the object space and air in the image space, then the focal length is:
1. \(2R\)

2. \(R\)
3. \(\frac{3}{2}R\)
4. \(R^2\)

Shown in the figure here is a convergent lens placed inside a cell filled with a liquid. The lens has focal length + 20 cm when in air and its material has refractive index 1.50. If the liquid has refractive index 1.60, the focal length of the system is

1. + 80 cm                         

2. – 80 cm

3. – 24 cm                         

4. –160 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. \(\frac{2R}{(\mu_2-\mu_1)}\)

1. \(-20\) cm 2. \(-25\) cm
3. \(-50\) cm 4. \(50\) cm

Two similar thin equi-convex lenses, of focal length \(f\) each, are kept coaxially in contact with each other such that the focal length of the combination is \(F_1\). When the space between the two lenses is filled with glycerin which has the same refractive index as that of glass \((\mu = 1.5),\) then the equivalent focal length is \(F_2\). The ratio \(F_1:F_2\) will be:

1. \(3:4\) 2. \(2:1\)
3. \(1:2\) 4. \(2:3\)
