A converging beam of light forms a sharp image on a screen. A lens is placed in the path of the beam at `10 cm` from the screen. It is found that the screen has to be moved `8 cm` further away from the lens to obtain a sharp image. Find the focal length and nature of the lens.

A beam of light converges to a point on a screen S. A mirror is placed in front of the screen at a distance of 10cm form the screen. It is found that the beam now converges at a point 20cm in front of the mirror. Find the focal length of the mirror.

When an object is placed at the proper distance ot the left of a converging lens, the image is focused in a screen 30 cm to the right of lens. A dieverging lens is now placed 15 cm to the right of the converging lens and it is found that the screen must be moved 19.2cm farther to the right to obtain a sharp image. Find the focal length of the diverging lens.

An object is placed 30cm away from a convex lens of focal length 10cm and a sharp image is formed on a screen. Now, a convex lens is placed In contact with the convex lens. The screen now has to be moved by 45cm to get a sharp image again. The magnitude of focal length of the convex lends in (in cm)

A convex lens forms a real image on a screen placed at a distance 60 cm from the object. When the lens is shifted towards the screen by 20 cm , another image of the object is formed on the screen. The focal length of the lens is :
