Two identical thin biconvex lens of focal length 15 cm and refractive index 1.5 are in contact with each other. The space between the lenses is filled with a liquid of refractive index 1.25. The focal length of the combination is __________ cm.

A transistor is used in common-emitter mode in an amplifier circuit. When a signal of 10 mV is added to the base-emitter voltage, the base current changes by 10 $$\mu$$A and the collector current changes by 1.5 mA. The load resistance is 5 k$$\Omega$$. The voltage gain of the transistor will be _________.

As shown in the figure an inductor of inductance 200 mH is connected to an AC source of emf 220 V and frequency 50 Hz. The instantaneous voltage of the source is 0 V when the peak value of current is $${{\sqrt a } \over \pi }$$ A. The value of $$a$$ is ___________.
