$A$ planoconvex lens,when silvered at its plane surface,is equivalent to a concave mirror of focal length $28 \ cm$. When its curved surface is silvered and the plane surface is not silvered,it is equivalent to a concave mirror of focal length $10 \ cm$. The refractive index of the material of the lens is:

  • A
    $9/14$
  • B
    $14/9$
  • C
    $17/9$
  • D

$A$ thin equiconvex lens has a focal length of $10\; cm$ and a refractive index of $1.5$. One of its faces is now silvered,and for an object placed at a distance $u$ in front of the lens,the image coincides with the object. The value of $u$ is: (in $; cm$)

$A$ thin plano-convex lens acts like a concave mirror of focal length $0.2 \ m$ when silvered from its plane surface. The refractive index of the material of the lens is $1.5$. The radius of curvature of the convex surface of the lens will be.......$m$.

$A$ thin biconvex lens is prepared from glass $(mu = 1.5)$ where both curved surfaces have equal radii of $20 \text{ cm}$ each. The left side surface of the lens is silvered from the outside to make it reflecting. To have the position of the image and the object at the same place, the object should be placed from the lens at a distance of . . . . . . $\text{cm}$.
