A transparent thin film of uniform thickness and refractive index n 1 = 1.4 is coated on the convex spherical surface of radius R at one end of a long solid glass cylinder of refractive index n 2 = 1.5 , as shown in the figure. Rays of light parallel to the axis of the cylinder traversing through the film from air to glass get focused at distance f 1 from the film, while rays of light traversing from glass to air get
Options
- Af 1 = 3 R
- Bf 1 = 2.8 R
- Cf 2 = 2 R
- Df 2 = 1.4 R
Correct answer
A. f 1 = 3 R
Step-by-step solution
For air to glass 1.5 f 1 = 1.4 - 1 R + 1.5 - 1.4 R ∴ f 1 = 3 R For glass to air. 1 f 2 = 1.4 - 1.5 - R + 1 - 1.4 - R ∴ f 2 = 2 R
