A glass hemisphere of radius \(0.1 \mathrm{~cm}\) and refractive index \(1.5\) is placed over a spot on a table and the spot is viewed from above. The spot appears to be


  1. A \(0.1 \mathrm{~m}\) above the top surface of the hemisphere
  2. B \(0.1 \mathrm{~m}\) below the top surface of the hemisphere
  3. C \(0.033 \mathrm{~m}\) above the top surface of the hemisphere
  4. D exactly on the top surface of the hemisphere
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0.1 \mathrm{~m}\) above the top surface of the hemisphere

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here, \(R=-0.1 \mathrm{~cm}, \mu_{g}=15\) \[ \therefore \quad u=-0.1 \mathrm{~cm} \] From refraction formula,…
