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 

  1. A \(14\, cm\) below flat surface
  2. B \(20\, cm\) below flat surface
  3. C \(16\, cm\) below flat surface
  4. D \(30\, cm\) below flat surface
Verified Solution

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,…
