Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): Parallel rays of light of different colours fail to converge to a point after reflection from a spherical mirror. 
Reason (R): The refractive index of any material depends on the frequency of light. 
 
1. (A) is True but (R) is False.
2. (A) is False but (R) is True.
3. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is a correct explanation of (A).
4. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not a correct explanation of (A).

An equi-convex lens of focal length \(50~\text{cm}\) and an equi-concave lens of the same focal length are placed \(50~\text{cm}\) apart, with a common principal axis. A point object is placed on the principal axis of the system, at a distance of \(100~\text{cm}\) in front of the convex lens (see figure). The final image is formed at:
            
1. \(100~\text{cm}\) in front of the concave lens
2. \(50~\text{cm}\) in front of the concave lens
3. \(50~\text{cm}\) behind the concave lens

A parallel beam of light is incident onto a convex lens and after passing through the lens, it gets reflected from a plane mirror and passes through the lens again. The focal length of the lens is \(f.\) Where should the mirror be placed so that the final beam emerges parallel? 
1. Just behind the lens.
2. At the focus of the lens.
3. At a distance of \(2f\) from the lens.
4. At a distance of \(3f\) from the lens.

An equiconvex lens of focal length \(50\) cm is made of glass of refractive index, \(\mu=1.5.\) It is split into two identical plano-convex lenses, and a glass-slab of the same refractive index, and of thickness \(300\) cm is inserted between the two half-lenses (plano-convex). When a parallel beam is incident on the combination, the emerging beam:
1. focuses at a distance of \(100\) cm from the second lens.
2. focuses at \(200\) cm from second lens.
3. focuses at \(150\) cm from second lens.
4. emerges as a parallel beam.
