Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 0.4 m left to the spherical surface

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \frac{\mu_2}{\mathrm{v}}-\frac{\mu_1}{\mathrm{u}}=\frac{\mu_2-\mu_1}{\mathrm{R}} \\ & \frac{1.5}{\mathrm{v}}-\frac{1}{(-0.2)}=\frac{1.5-1}{0.4} \\ & \frac{1.5}{\mathrm{v}}=\frac{0.5}{0.4}-\frac{1}{0.2} \\ & \frac{1.5}{\mathrm{v}}=-\frac{1.5}{0.4} \\ & \mathrm{v}=-0.4 \mathrm{~m}\end{aligned}\)
