(N/A) number of optical devices and instruments have been designed utilizing the reflecting and refracting properties of mirrors,lenses,and prisms.
Common examples of such optical instruments include:
$1$. Periscope: Uses reflection (mirrors).
$2$. Kaleidoscope: Uses reflection (mirrors).
$3$. Binoculars: Uses both reflection (prisms) and refraction (lenses).
$4$. Telescopes: Uses reflection (mirrors) and refraction (lenses).
$5$. Microscopes: Uses refraction (lenses).
Additionally,the human eye is one of the most important natural optical instruments.

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:

By which type of mirror,the image obtained is always erect?

$A$ convex mirror and a concave mirror of radius $10\; cm$ each are placed $15\; cm$ apart facing each other. An object is placed midway between them. If the reflection first takes place in the concave mirror and then in the convex mirror,the position of the final image is:

An object is placed at a distance of $50 \, cm$ in front of a convex mirror. $A$ plane mirror is inserted covering half of the convex mirror. If the distance between the object and the plane mirror is $30 \, cm$,it is observed that there is no parallax between the images formed by the two mirrors. The radius of curvature of the convex mirror is ..... $cm$.
