A hemispherical glass body of radius \(10\, cm\) and refractive index \(1.5\) is silvered on its curved surface. A small air bubble is \(6\, cm\) below the flat surface inside it along the axis. The position of the image of the air bubble made by the mirror is seen

- A \(14\, cm\) below flat surface
- B \(20\, cm\) below flat surface
- C \(16\, cm\) below flat surface
- D \(30\, cm\) below flat surface
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(20\, cm\) below flat surface
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given, radius of herrispherical glass \(\mathrm{R}=10\, \mathrm{cm}\) \(\therefore\) Focal length \(\mathrm{f}=\frac{10}{2}=-5 \,\mathrm{cm}\) \(\mathrm{u}=(10-6)=-4\, \mathrm{cm}\) By using mirror formula,…

- A person lives in a high-rise building on the bank of a river \(50\, m\) wide. Across the river is a well lit tower of height \(40\, m\). When the person, who is at a height of \(10\, m\), looks through a polarizer at an appropriate angle at light of the tower reflecting from the river surface, he notes that intensity of light coming from distance \(X\) from his building is the least and this corresponds to the light coming from light bulbs at height \('Y'\) on the tower. The values of \(X\) and \(Y\) are respectively close to (refractive index of water \( \simeq \frac{4}{3})\)
