A small object is enclosed in a transparent solid sphere of radius 8 cm. The object is situated at 2 cm from the centre of the sphere. If its image appears to be at 3.2 cm from the nearest side then the refractive index of the material of the sphere is

  1. A 1.62
  2. B 1.45
  3. C 1.55
  4. D 1.50
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 1.50

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The figure below represents transparent solid sphere. From the figure, u=-6 cm v=-3.2 cm The formula for the refractive indexes of first and second medium with respect to air, μ2v-μ1u=μ2-μ1R Substitute the values in the above equation. 1-3.2-μ-6=1-μ-8 Simplify…
