$A$ plano-convex 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 $10 \, cm$. Find the refractive index of the material of the lens.

$A$ plano-convex lens of refractive index $1.5$ and radius of curvature $30 \; cm$ is silvered at the curved surface. Now this lens has been used to form the image of an object. At what distance from this lens should an object be placed in order to have a real image of the size of the object (in $; cm$)?

$A$ convex lens of focal length $20\,cm$ is placed in front of a convex mirror with their principal axes coinciding. The distance between the lens and the mirror is $10\,cm$. $A$ point object is placed on the principal axis at a distance of $60\,cm$ from the convex lens. The image formed by the combination coincides with the object itself. The focal length of the convex mirror is $...\,cm$.

Given a thin convex lens (refractive index $\mu_2$),kept in a liquid (refractive index $\mu_1, \mu_1 < \mu_2$) having radii of curvature $|R_1|$ and $|R_2|$. Its second surface is silver-polished. Where should an object be placed on the optic axis so that a real and inverted image is formed at the same place?
