Given: Separation of lens for two of its position, d=10 cm Ratio of size of the images in two positions I2I1=23 Distance of object from the screen, D= ? Applying formula, I2I1=(D−d)2(D+d)2⇒23=(D−10)2(D+10)2⇒23=D2+100−20DD2+100+20D⇒3D2+300−60D=2D2+200+40D⇒D2−100D+100=0 On solving, we get D=99 cm Hence the distance between the screen and the object is 99 cm.

A parallel beam of light travelling in air (refractive index 1.0) is incident on a convex spherical glass surface of radius of curvature 50 cm. Refractive index of glass is 1.5. The rays converge to a point at a distance $x \mathrm{~cm}$ from the centre of the curvature of the spherical surface. The value of $x$ is $\_\_\_\_$ cm.
A thin biconvex lens is prepared from the glass ($\mu=1.5$) both curved surfaces of which have equal radii of $20$ cm each. Left side surface of the lens is silvered from outside to make it reflecting. To have the position of image and object at the same place, the object should be placed, from the lens at a distance of ________ cm.
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.
Consider light travelling from a medium $A$ to medium $B$ separated by a plane interface. If the light undergoes total internal reflection during its travel from medium $A$ to $B$ and the speed of light in media $A$ and $B$ are $2.4 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ and $2.7 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$, respectively, then the value of critical angle is :
In a Young double slit experiment, the wavelength of incident light is $6000$ Å, the separation between slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ is $5$ cm and the distance between slits plane and screen is $50$ cm, as shown in the figure below. If the resultant intensity at $P$ is equal to the intensity due to individual slits, the path difference between interfering waves is __________ Å.
