If sunlight is focused on a paper using convex lens, it starts burning the paper in shortest time when the lens is kept at 30 cm above the paper. If the radius of curvature of the lens is 60 cm then the refractive index of the lens material is 10. The value of is .

The magnitudes of power of a biconvex lens (refractive index 1.5) and that of a plano-concave lens (refractive index = 1.7) are same. If the curvature of plano-concave lens exactly matches with the curvature of back surface of the biconvex lens, then ratio of radius of curvature of front and back surface of the biconvex lens is

A convex lens of refractive index 1.5 and focal length f = 18 cm is immersed in water. The difference in focal lengths of the given lens when it is in water and in air is f. The value of is . (refractive index of water = 4/3)

A biconvex lens is formed by using two thin planoconvex lenses, as shown in the figure. The refractive index and radius of curved surfaces are also mentioned in figure. When an object is placed on the left side of lens at a distance of 30 cm from the biconvex lens, the magnification of the image will be : [figure]
