Two thin biconvex lenses have focal lengths f1 and f2. A third thin biconcave lens has focal length of f3. If the two biconvex lenses are in contact, the total power of the lenses is P1. If the first convex lens is in contact with the third lens, the total power is P2. If the second lens is in contact with the third lens, the total power is P3 then

Two identical equiconvex lenses, each of focal length f are placed side by side in contact with each other with a layer of water in between them as shown in the figure. If refractive index of the material of the lenses is greater than that of water, how the combined focal length F is related to f ?

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 F1. When the space between the two lenses is filled with glycerin (which has the same refractive index (μ=1.5) as that of glass), then the equivalent focal length is F2. The ratio F1:F2 will be

A thin convex lens L (refractive index =1.5 ) is placed on a plane mirror M. When a pin is placed at A, such that OA=18 cm, its real inverted image is formed at A itself, as shown in figure. When liquid of refractive index μl is put between the lens and the mirror, the pin has to be moved to A', such that OA'=27cm, to get its inverted real image at A' itself. The value of μl will be
