JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 9. Ray optics and optical instruments

A spherical surface of radius of curvature \(R\), separates air from glass (refractive index \(=1.5\) ). The centre of curvature is in the glass medium. A point object ' \(O\) ' placed in air on the optic axis of the surface, so that its real image is formed at ' \(I\) ' inside glass. The line OI intersects the spherical surface at P and \(\mathrm{PO}=\mathrm{PI}\). The distance PO equals to ________.

  1. A 5 R
  2. B 3 R
  3. C 1.5 R
  4. D 2 R
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 5 R

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{PO}=\mathrm{u}=-\mathrm{x} \\ & \mathrm{PI}=\mathrm{v}=\mathrm{x} \\ & \mathrm{PO}=\mathrm{PI} \\ & \frac{\mu_2}{\mathrm{v}}-\frac{\mu_1}{\mathrm{u}}=\frac{\mu_2-\mu_1}{\mathrm{R}} \\ & \frac{1.5}{\mathrm{x}}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{x}}=\frac{1}{2 \mathrm{R}}…
