Light from point source in air falls on a spherical glass surface (n=1.5 and radius of curvature= 10 cm). The distance of the light source from the glass surface is 50 cm. The position at which the image is formed is: |
100 cm in the air 150 cm in the glass surface 200 cm in the air 50 cm in the glass surface |
50 cm in the glass surface |
The correct answer is Option (4) → 50 cm in the glass surface Using lens-Maker formula, $\frac{μ_2}{v}-\frac{μ_1}{u}=\frac{μ_2-μ_1}{R}$ and, $μ_1=1$ (Air) $μ_2=1.5$ (Glass) $⇒\frac{1.5}{v}-\frac{1}{-50}=\frac{1.5-1}{10}$ $⇒v=50cm$ |
