4. Refractive index of diamond with respect to glass is 1.6 and absolute refractive index of glass is 1.5. Find the absolute refractive index of diamond.
5. It is desired to obtain an erect image of an object using a concave mirror of focal length 20 cm.
   1. What should be the range of distance of object from the mirror.
   2. Will the image be bigger or smaller than object ?
