A parallel beam of light travelling in air (refractive index 1.0) is incident on a convex spherical glass surface of radius of curvature 50 cm . Refractive index of glass is 1.5 . The rays converge to a point at a distance x cm from the centre of the curvature of the spherical surface. The value of x is __________ cm.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 100
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

\( \frac{\mu_{2}}{v}-\frac{\mu_{1}}{u}=\frac{\mu_{2}-\mu_{1}}{R}\Rightarrow\frac{1.5}{v}-\frac{1}{\infty}=\frac{1.5-1}{50} \)
\( V=150~cm \)
\(x \rightarrow\) measure from center
x = V - R
= 150 - 50 = 100 cm
