A magnifying glass is held 4.0 cm from a photograph resulting in a magnification of 3.0 times. Determine the distance of the image from the lens and the focal length of the lens

In an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment a straight black line of length L is drawn on inside part of objective lens. The eye-piece forms a real image of this line. The length of this image is I. The magnification of the telescope is ________

.A container made of glass refractiveindex=1.5 contains a liquid.
A ray of light passing through the liquid falls on the bottom of the container at an angle of incidence =tan^(-1)(0.9)" and completely polarized.The ray should strike the bottom of the container at an angle of incidences so that it undergoes total internal reflection
