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.

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 :
