$A$ convex lens of glass $(\mu_g = 1.45)$ has a focal length $f_a$ in air. The lens is immersed in a liquid of refractive index $(\mu_l) = 1.3$. The ratio of the $f_l / f_a$ is

$A$ point object is placed on the axis of a thin convex lens of focal length $0.05 \ m$ at a distance of $0.2 \ m$ from the lens and its image is formed on the axis. If the object is now made to oscillate along the axis with a small amplitude of $A \ cm,$ then what is the amplitude of oscillation of the image? [You may assume $\frac{1}{1+x} \approx 1-x,$ where $x << 1$]

$A$ lens behaves as a converging lens in air and a diverging lens in water. The refractive index of the lens is

In the displacement method of a lens,we obtain two images for different positions of the lens. One image is magnified,and the other is diminished. If $m$ is the magnification of the first image,then the focal length of the lens is given by:
