To find the focal length of a convex mirror,a student records the following data:
Object Pin Convex Lens Convex Mirror Image Pin
$22.2 \, cm$ $32.2 \, cm$ $45.8 \, cm$ $71.2 \, cm$

The focal length of the convex lens is $f_1$ and that of the mirror is $f_2$. Taking index correction to be negligibly small,$f_1$ and $f_2$ are close to:

In an experiment for estimating the value of focal length of a converging mirror,the image of an object placed at $40\,cm$ from the pole of the mirror is formed at a distance of $120\,cm$ from the pole of the mirror. These distances are measured with a modified scale in which there are $20$ small divisions in $1\,cm$. The value of error in the measurement of the focal length of the mirror is $1/K\,cm$. The value of $K$ is $..........$

An electric lamp is fixed at the ceiling of a circular tunnel as shown in the figure. What is the ratio of the intensities of light at base $A$ and a point $B$ on the wall?

An optical arrangement consists of two concave mirrors $M_1$ and $M_2$,and a convex lens $L$ with a common principal axis,as shown in the figure. The focal length of $L$ is $10 \text{ cm}$. The radii of curvature of $M_1$ and $M_2$ are $20 \text{ cm}$ and $24 \text{ cm}$,respectively. The distance between $L$ and $M_2$ is $20 \text{ cm}$. $A$ point object $S$ is placed at the mid-point between $L$ and $M_2$ on the axis. When the distance between $L$ and $M_1$ is $n/7 \text{ cm}$,one of the images coincides with $S$. The value of $n$ is. . . .

$A$ movie projector forms an image $3.5 \ m$ long of an object $35 \ mm$ long. Supposing there is negligible absorption of light by the aperture,what is the ratio of the illuminance on the slide to the illuminance on the screen?
