$A$ point object $O$ is placed on the principal axis of a convex lens of focal length $20 \, cm$ at a distance of $40 \, cm$ to the left of it. The diameter of the lens is $10 \, cm$. If the eye is placed $60 \, cm$ to the right of the lens at a distance $h$ below the principal axis,then the maximum value of $h$ to see the image will be.......$cm$.

The focal length of a biconvex lens made of glass with equal radii of curvature is $f$. If the lens is dipped in water, what will be its new focal length? (Take the refractive index of glass as $3/2$ and water as $4/3$)

$A$ beam of light converges at a point $P$. Now a lens is placed in the path of the convergent beam $12 \, cm$ from $P$. At what point does the beam converge if the lens is a convex lens of focal length $20 \, cm$ (in $, cm$)?

$A$ thin converging lens of focal length $f=25 \,cm$ forms the image of an object on a screen placed at a distance of $75 \,cm$ from the lens. The screen is moved closer to the lens by a distance of $25 \,cm$. The distance through which the object has to be shifted, so that its image on the screen is sharp again, is (in $\,cm$)

For a convex lens,the distance of the object is taken on the $X$-axis and the distance of the image is taken on the $Y$-axis. The nature of the graph so obtained is:
