Question

A mark is made on the surface of a glass sphere of diameter 10 cm and refractive index 1.5. It is viewed through the glass from a portion directly opposite. The distance of the image of the mark from the centre of the sphere will be      

Solution

Correct option is

15 cm

 

Let P be the position of the mark. Q is the position of its image. Since the incident ray PA lies in a medium of refractive index μ2, and is refracted into a medium of refractive index μ1, our formula

                                           

Where      u = –2 R = –10 cm, R = –5cm, μ2 = 1.5 and μ1 = 1   

Putting these values in the above formula, we have  

                  

or             v = –20 cm       

∴ Distance of image Q from O = 20 – 5 = 15 cm
