$A$ plano-convex lens is made of a material of refractive index $n$. When a small object is placed $30 \ cm$ away in front of the curved surface of the lens,an image of double the size of the object is produced. Due to reflection from the curved surface of the lens,another faint image is observed at a distance of $10 \ cm$ away from the lens. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) true?
$(A)$ The refractive index of the lens is $2.5$
$(B)$ The radius of curvature of the convex surface is $45 \ cm$
$(C)$ The faint image is erect and real
$(D)$ The focal length of the lens is $20 \ cm$

The curvature radii of a concavo-convex glass lens are $20\, cm$ and $60\, cm$. The convex surface of the lens is silvered. With the lens horizontal,the concave surface is filled with water. The focal length of the effective mirror is $(\mu_{\text{glass}} = 1.5, \mu_{\text{water}} = 4/3)$.

An object is placed $60 \ cm$ in front of a convex mirror of focal length $30 \ cm$. $A$ plane mirror is now placed facing the object in between the object and the convex mirror such that it covers the lower half of the convex mirror. What should be the distance of the plane mirror from the object so that there will be no parallax between the images formed by the two mirrors (in $cm$)?

$A$ light source is located at $P_1$ as shown in the figure. All sides of the polygon are equal. The intensity of illumination at $P_2$ is $I_0$. What will be the intensity of illumination at $P_3$?

Answer the following questions:
$(a)$ You have learnt that plane and convex mirrors produce virtual images of objects. Can they produce real images under some circumstances? Explain.
$(b)$ $A$ virtual image,we always say,cannot be caught on a screen. Yet when we 'see' a virtual image,we are obviously bringing it on to the 'screen' (i.e.,the retina) of our eye. Is there a contradiction?
$(c)$ $A$ diver under water,looks obliquely at a fisherman standing on the bank of a lake. Would the fisherman look taller or shorter to the diver than what he actually is?
$(d)$ Does the apparent depth of a tank of water change if viewed obliquely? If so,does the apparent depth increase or decrease?
$(e)$ The refractive index of diamond is much greater than that of ordinary glass. Is this fact of some use to a diamond cutter?
