Important Questions on Refraction at Spherical Surface and Spherical Lens

MEDIUM
A converging lens has a focal length of 0.12 m. To get an image of unit magnification the object should be placed at what distance from the converging lens?
HARD
A thin convex lens is placed just above an empty vessel of depth 80 cm. The image of a coin kept at the bottom of the vessel is thus formed 20 cm above the lens. If now water is poured in the vessel upto a height of 64 cm what will be the approximate new position of the image? Assume that refractive index of water is 4/3.
HARD
The same size images are formed by a convex lens when the object is placed at 20 cm or at 10 cm from the lens. The focal length of convex lens is

MEDIUM
The distance between a convex lens and a plane mirror is 10 cm. The parallel rays incident on the convex lens, after reflection from the mirror, form image at the optical centre of the lens. Then the focal length of the lens is
HARD

Four bulbs; red, green, white and blue (denoted by R, G, W and B respectively) are kept in front of a converging lens (as shown in the figure below). The observer sees that the green and blue bulbs are kept to the left of the principle axis while the red and white bulbs are kept to the right of the principle axis. He also sees that the red and green bulbs are above the principle axis while the white and blue bulbs are below the principle axis. The screens S1 and S2 are set at appropriate positions for the focusing to view the images.

EASY
An object is placed at 20 cm from a convex lens. If 3 times magnified real image is formed by the lens then find the focal length of lens.
HARD
A plano-convex lens is made of a material of refractive index n. When a small object is placed 30 cm away in front of the curved surface of the lens, an image of double the size of the object is produced. Due to reflection from the convex surface of the lens, another faint image is observed at a distance of 10 cm away from the lens. Which of the following statement(s) is (are) true?
MEDIUM
A planoconvex lens has thickness of 4 cm. When placed on a horizontal table, with the curved surface in contact with it, the apparent depth of the bottom most point of the lens is found to be 3 cm. If the lens is inverted such that the plane face is in contact with the table, the apparent depth of the centre of the plane face is found to be 258 cm. The focal length of the lens is (assume thickness of lens to be negligible)

A point source of light is placed at 2 f from a converging lens of focal length f. A flat mirror is placed on the other side of the lens at a distance d such that rays reflected from the mirror are parallel after passing through the lens again. If f=30 cm, then d is equal to

An optical device is constructed by fixing three identical convex lenses of focal lengths 10 cm each inside a hollow tube at an equal spacing of 30 cm each. One end of the device is placed 10 cm away from a point source. How much does the image shift when the device is moved away from the source by another 10 cm?

A convex lens A of focal length 20 cm and a concave lens B of focal length 5 cm are kept along the same axis with a distance d between them. If a parallel beam of light falling on A leaves B as a parallel beam, then the distance d in cm will be :

In between a fixed object and a fixed screen a convex lens can cast two images at two different positions of the lens. Taking this to be a true statement show that the product of the size of the images is equal to the square of the object size.

A converging mirror is placed on the right hand side of a converging lens as shown in the figure. The focal length of the mirror and the lens are 20 cm and 15 cm respectively. The separation between the lens and the mirror is 40 cm and their principal axes coincide. A point source is placed on the principal axis at a distance d to the left of the lens. If the final beam comes out parallel to the principal axis, then the value of d is:
