    $3$
  • B

$A$ point source of light is placed at $2f$ 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 ............. $cm$.

$A$ plano-convex lens of refractive index $1.5$ and radius of curvature $30 \; cm$ is silvered at the curved surface. Now this lens has been used to form the image of an object. At what distance from this lens should an object be placed in order to have a real image of the size of the object (in $; cm$)?

An object is placed $0.1 \,m$ in front of a convex lens of focal length $20 \,cm$ made of a material of refractive index $1.5$. The surface of the lens away from the object is silvered. If the radius of curvature of the silvered surface is $22 \,cm$,then the distance of the final image from the silvered surface is (in $\,cm$)
