A concave mirror of focal length 10 cm forms an image which is double the size of object when the object is placed at two different positions. The distance between the two positions of the object is cm.

A ray of light passing through an equilateral prism is having velocity 2.12 108 m/s in the prism material, then the minimum angle of deviation is degrees.

A compound microscope is designed with two symmetric biconvex lenses. The objective lens is cut vertically, creating two identical plano-convex lenses. One of them is used in place of original objective lens. To retain same magnification keeping the object distance unchanged, the tube length has to be

1. increased two times
2. increased 32 times
3. decreased two times
4. decreased 32 times

A thin convex lens and a thin concave lens are kept in contact and are co-axial. Which of the following statements is correct for this combination of two lenses ?

1. behaves as concave lens if |fconvex|>|fconcave|
2. behaves as concave lens if |fconvex|<|fconcave|
3. behaves as convex lens if |fconvex|>|fconcave|
4. Focal length of the lens system will change if the positions of two lenses are interchanged

An object AB is placed 15 cm on the left of a convex lens P of focal length 10 cm. Another convex lens Q is now placed 15 cm right of lens P. If the focal length of lens Q is 15 cm, the final image is .
