A beam of light from a source L is incident normally on a plane mirror fixed at a certain distance x from the source. The beam is reflected back as a spot on a scale placed just above the source L. When the mirror is rotated through a small angle $$\theta $$, the spot of the light is found to move through a distance y on the scale. The angle $$\theta $$ is given by

A person can see clearly objects only when they lie between 50 cm and 400 cm from his eyes . In order to increase the maximum distance of distinct vision to infinity, the type and power of the correcting lens, the person has to use. will be

Two identical glass ($$\mu $$_g = 3/2) equiconvex lenses of focal length $$f$$ each are kept in contact. The space between the two lenses is filled with water $$\left( {{\mu _w} = 4/3} \right)$$. The focal length of the combination is

An air bubble in a glass slab with refractive index 1.5 (near normal incidence) is 5 cm deep when viewed from one surface and 3 cm deep when viewed from the opposite face. The thickness (in cm) of the slab is
