[figure] A spherical surface separates two media of refractive indices 1 and 1.5 as shown in figure. Distance of the image of an object 'O', is : (C is the center of curvature of the spherical surface and R is the radius of curvature)

  1. 0.24 m left to the spherical surface
  2. 0.24 m right to the spherical surface
  3. 0.4 m left to the spherical surface
  4. 0.4 m right to the spherical surface

Answer

(3) 0.4 m left to the spherical surface

Solution

Refraction at a spherical surface: n2v - n1u = n2 - n1R

Light travels left to right (from O). Sign convention (distances from the pole, positive to the right):

n1 = 1, n2 = 1.5, u = -0.2 m, R = +0.4 m (C is on the right)

1.5v - 1-0.2 = 1.5 - 10.4

1.5v = 1.25 - 5 = -3.75

v = -0.4 m

The (virtual) image is 0.4 m to the left of the spherical surface.

Answer: (3)

Two light beams fall on a transparent material block at point 1 and 2 with angle 1 and 2, respectively, as shown in figure. After refraction, the beams intersect at point 3 which is exactly on the interface at other end of the block. Given : the distance between 1 and 2, d = 4 3 cm and 1 = 2 = -1 ( n22n1 ), where refractive index of the block n2 > refractive index of the outside medium n1, then the thickness of the block is cm.

At the interface between two materials having refractive indices n1 and n2, the critical angle for reflection of an em wave is 1C. The n2 material is replaced by another material having refractive index n3 such that the critical angle at the interface between n1 and n3 materials is 2C. If n3 > n2 > n1; n2n3 = 25 and 2C - 1C = 12, then 1C is :
