A plano-convex lens fits exactly into a plano-concave lens. Their plane surfaces are parallel to each other. If lenses are made of different materials of refractive indices \(\mu_1\) and \(\mu_2\) and \(R\) is the radius of curvature of the curved surface of the lenses, then the focal length of the combination is:
1. \(\dfrac{R}{2(\mu_1-\mu_2)}\) 2. \(\dfrac{R}{(\mu_1-\mu_2)}\)
3. \(\dfrac{2R}{(\mu_2-\mu_1)}\) 4. \(\dfrac{R}{2(\mu_1+\mu_2)}\)

For a normal eye, the cornea of the eye provides a converging power of \(40~\text{D}\) and the least converging power of the eye lens behind the cornea is \(20~\text{D}\). Using this information, the distance between the retina and the cornea-eye lens can be estimated to be:
1. \(2.5~\text{cm}\)
2. \(1.67~\text{cm}\)
3. \(1.5~\text{cm}\)
4. \(5~\text{cm}\)

1. \(\mu A\)
2. \(\frac{\mu A}{2}\)
3. \(\frac{A}{\mu}\)

A concave mirror of the focal length \(f_1\) is placed at a distance of \(d\) from a convex lens of focal length \(f_2\). A beam of light coming from infinity and falling on this convex lens-concave mirror combination returns to infinity. The distance \(d\) must be equal to:
1. \(f_1+f_2\)
2. \(-f_1+f_2\)
3. \(2f_1+f_2\)
4. \(-2f_1+f_2\)
