40. A boy is trying to start a fire by focusing sunlight on a piece of paper using an equiconvex lens of focal length 10 cm. The diameter of the Sun is 1.39 × 109 m and its mean distance from the earth is 1.5 × 1011 m. What is the diameter of the Sun’s image on the paper ?

39. A convex lens and a concave lens, each having same focal length of 25 cm, are put in contact to form a combination of lenses. The power in diopters of the combination is ?

38. An equiconvex lens is cut into two halves along (i) XOX and (ii) Y OY as shown in the figure. Let f, f′, f′′ be the focal lengths of the complete lens, of each half in case (i), and of each half in case (ii), respectively. Choose the correct statement from the following.

34. A plano-convex lens is made of material of refractive index 1.6. The radius of curvature of the curved surface is 60 cm. The focal length of the lens is ?

33. A luminous object is placed at a distance of 30 cm from the convex lens of focal length 20 cm. On the other side of the lens, at what distance from the lens a convex mirror of radius of curvature 10 cm be placed in order to have an upright image of the object coincident with it ?

32. The focal length of converging lens is measured for violet, green and red colours. It is respectively $f_v, f_g, f_r$. We will get ?

31. A convex lens of focal length 80 cm and a concave lens of focal length 50 cm are combined together. What will be their resulting power ?
