An object is located in a fixed position in front of a screen. $A$ sharp image is obtained on the screen for two positions of a thin lens separated by $10\, cm$. The size of the images in the two situations are in the ratio $3 : 2$. What is the distance between the screen and the object in $cm$?

Refractive index of a glass convex lens is $1.5$. The radius of curvature of each of the two surfaces of the lens is $40 \text{ cm}$. The ratio of the power of the lens when immersed in a liquid of refractive index $1.25$ to that when placed in air is

$A$ student measures the focal length of a convex lens by placing an object pin at a distance '$u$' from the lens and measuring the distance '$v$' of the image pin. The graph between '$u$' and '$v$' plotted by the student should look like:
