Two immiscible liquids of refractive indices $$\frac{8}{5}$$ and $$\frac{3}{2}$$ respectively are put in a beaker as shown in the figure. The height of each column is $$6 \mathrm{~cm}$$. A coin is placed at the bottom of the beaker. For near normal vision, the apparent depth of the coin is $$\frac{\alpha}{4} \mathrm{~cm}$$. The value of $$\alpha$$ is _________.

A bi convex lens of focal length $$10 \mathrm{~cm}$$ is cut in two identical parts along a plane perpendicular to the principal axis. The power of each lens after cut is ____________ D.

A fish rising vertically upward with a uniform velocity of $$8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$$, observes that a bird is diving vertically downward towards the fish with the velocity of $$12 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$$. If the refractive index of water is $$\frac{4}{3}$$, then the actual velocity of the diving bird to pick the fish, will be __________ $$\mathrm{ms}^{-1}$$.
