The eye can be regarded as a single refracting surface. The radius of curvature of this surface is equal to that of the cornea $(7.8 \, mm)$. This surface separates two media of refractive indices $1$ and $1.34$. Calculate the distance from the refracting surface at which a parallel beam of light will come to focus in $cm$.

$A$ spherical vessel of radius $10 \, cm$ is filled with water of refractive index $\mu = 4/3$. $A$ fish is at a distance of $4 \, cm$ from the center as shown in the figure. If viewed from end $E$,at what distance will the fish appear to be (in $, cm$)? (Neglect the thickness of the vessel)

$A$ small object is enclosed in a transparent solid sphere of radius $8 \ cm$. The object is situated at $2 \ cm$ from the centre of the sphere. If its image appears to be at $3.2 \ cm$ from the nearest side,then the refractive index of the material of the sphere is:

$A$ spherical glass is attached to a rigid wall as shown in the figure. An observer located at point $O$ is looking at a point $A$ on the wall. The refractive index of the glass is $1.5$ and that of air is $1.0$. The distances are $OA = 8 \text{ cm}$, $XA = 3 \text{ cm}$. If the radius of curvature of the spherical glass surface is $R = 5 \text{ cm}$, then the apparent distance of $A$ from the observer $O$ is (in $\text{ cm}$)

Light from a point source in air falls on a spherical glass surface ($n = 1.5$ and radius of curvature $= 20\; cm$). The distance of the light source from the glass surface is $100\; cm$. At what position (in $cm$) the image is formed?
