A beaker containing liquid is placed on a table, underneath a microscope which can be moved along a vertical scale. The microscope is focussed, through the liquid onto a mark on the table when the reading on the scale is a. It is next focussed on the upper surface of the liquid and the reading is b. More liquid is added and the observations are repeated, the corresponding readings are c and d. The refractive index of the liquid is
A plano-convex lens when silvered in the plane side behaves like a concave mirror of focal length 30cm. However, when silvered on the convex side it behaves like a concave mirror of focal length 10 cm. Then the refractive index of its material will be [BHU 1997; UPSEAT 1995]
A spherical surface of radius of curvature R separates air (refractive index 1.0) from glass (refractive index 1.5). The centre of curvature is in the glass. A point object P placed in air is found to have a real image Q in the glass. The line PQ cuts the surface at a point O, and PO = OQ. The distance PO is equal to [IIT JEE 1998; DPMT 2000]
