A spherical surface separates two media of refractive indices 1 and 1.5 as shown in figure. Distance of the image of an object ' O ' is :
( C is the center of curvature of the spherical surface and \(R\) is the radius of curvature)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 0.4 m left to the spherical surface
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{aligned} & \frac{\mu_2}{\mathrm{v}}-\frac{\mu_1}{\mathrm{u}}=\frac{\mu_2-\mu_1}{\mathrm{R}} \\ & \frac{1.5}{\mathrm{v}}-\frac{1}{(-0.2)}=\frac{1.5-1}{0.4} \\ & \frac{1.5}{\mathrm{v}}=\frac{0.5}{0.4}-\frac{1}{0.2} \\ & \frac{1.5}{\mathrm{v}}=-\frac{1.5}{0.4} \\ & \mathrm{v}=-0.4 \mathrm{~m}\end{aligned}\)
