Light from a point source in air falls on spherical glass surface (n = 1.4 and radius of curvature 20 cm). The distance of light source from the glass surface is 150 cm, At what position is the image formed?

  1. A 150 cm from glass surface in the direction of incident light
  2. B 105 cm from glass surface in the direction of incident light
  3. C 150 cm from glass surface towards light source
  4. D 105 cm from glass surface towards light source
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 105 cm from glass surface in the direction of incident light

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{n_2}{v} - \frac{n_1}{u} = \frac{n_2 - n_1}{R} \) \( \frac{1.4}{v} - \frac{1}{-150} = \frac{1.4 - 1}{+20} \) \( \frac{1.4}{v} + \frac{1}{150} = \frac{0.4}{20} \) \( \frac{1.4}{v} = \frac{1}{50} - \frac{1}{150} = \frac{3-1}{150} = \frac{2}{150} \)…
