A parallel beam of light is incident on a converging lens parallel to its principal axis. As one moves away from the lens on the other side on its principal axis, the intensity of light:

1. remains constant
2. continuously increases
3. continuously decreases
4. first increases then decreases

A symmetric double convex lens is cut in two equal parts by a plane perpendicular to the principal axis. If the power of the original lens was \(4 D,\) the power of a cut-lens would be:
1. \(2 D\)
2. \(3 D\)
3. \(4 D\)
4. \(5D\)

Two concave lenses \(L_1\) and \(L_2\) are kept in contact with each other. If the space between the two lenses is filled with a material of smaller refractive index, the magnitude of the focal length of the combination:
1. becomes undefined.
2. remains unchanged.
3. increases.
4. decreases.

A thin lens is made with a material having refractive index \(\mu=1.5\). Both sides are convex. It is dipped in water (\(\mu=1.33\)). It will behave like:
1. a convergent lens
2. a divergent lens
3. a rectangular slab
4. a prism

A point object \(O\) is placed on the principal axis of a convex lens of focal length \(f = 20~\text{cm}\) at a distance of \(40~\text{cm}\) to the left of it. The diameter of the lens is \(10~\text{cm}.\) An eye is placed \(60~\text{cm}\) to the right of the lens and a distance \(h\) below the principal axis. The maximum value of \(h\) to see the image is:
(assume paraxial approximation to be valid here)
1. Zero
2. \(2.5~\text{cm}\)
3. \(5~\text{cm}\)
4. \(10~\text{cm}\)

The rays of different colours fail to converge at a point after going through a converging lens. This defect is called:
1. spherical aberration

Mark the correct options:

1. if the incident rays are converging, we have a real object.
2. if the final rays are converging, we have a real image.
3. the image of a virtual object is called a virtual image.
4. if the image is virtual, the corresponding object is called a virtual object.
