(D) Case $1$: Curved surface in contact with the table.The real depth of the lens is $t = 6 \,cm$. The apparent depth is $d' = 4 \,cm$.The refractive index $n$ is given by $n = \frac{	ext{Real depth}}{	ext{Apparent depth}} = \frac{6}{4} = 1.5$.Case $2$: Plane surface in contact with the table.We use the refraction formula at a spherical surface: $\frac{n_2}{v} - \frac{n_1}{u} = \frac{n_2 - n_1}{R}$.Here, the light travels from the lens $(n = 1.5)$ to the air $(n = 1)$.Real depth $u = 6 \,cm$, apparent depth $v = -\frac{17}{4} \,cm$ (virtual image).Using the formula $\frac{1}{v} - \frac{1.5}{u} = \frac{1 - 1.5}{R}$:$\frac{1}{-17/4} - \frac{1.5}{6} = \frac{-0.5}{R}$$-\frac{4}{17} - 0.25 = -\frac{0.5}{R}$$-\frac{4}{17} - \frac{1}{4} = -\frac{1}{2R}$$-\frac{16 + 17}{68} = -\frac{1}{2R}$$\frac{33}{68} = \frac{1}{2R} \implies R = \frac{68}{66} 	imes 33 = 34 \,cm$.

An object placed at a distance of $16 \ cm$ from a convex lens produces an image of magnification $m$ $(m > 1)$. If the object is moved towards the lens by $8 \ cm$, then again an image of magnification $m$ is obtained. The numerical value of the focal length of the lens is (in $cm$)

When the object is at distances $u_1$ and $u_2$ from a lens,the images formed are real and virtual respectively,and both have the same size. Then the focal length of the lens is:

You are given two lenses,a converging lens with focal length $+10\, cm$ and a diverging lens with focal length $-20\, cm$. Which of the following would produce a virtual image that is larger than the object?

The focal length of a convex lens is $30 \ cm$ and the size of the image is a quarter of the object,then the object distance is ........ $cm$.

In an experiment to measure the focal length $(f)$ of a convex lens,the magnitude of object distance $(x)$ and the image distance $(y)$ are measured with reference to the focal point of the lens. The $y-x$ plot is shown in the figure. The focal length of the lens is . . . . . . $cm$.
