Two transparent media having refractive indices 1.01 . 0 and 1.51 . 5 are separated by a spherical refracting surface of radius of curvature 30cm30cm. The centre of curvature of surface is towards denser medium and a point object is placed on the principal axis in rarer medium at a distance of 15cm15cm from the pole of the surface. The distance of image from the pole of the surface is cmcm.Two transparent media having refractive indices 1 . 0 and 1 . 5 are separated by a spherical refracting surface of

Correct answer

30

Step-by-step solution

Let's consider the following diagram-

Two transparent media having refractive indices 1 . 0 and 1 . 5 are separated by a spherical refracting surface of

The relation between the object distance, the image distance and the radius of curvature of the spherical surface can be written as

μ2v−μ1u=μ2−μ1R...(1)\dfrac{{\mu}_{2}}{v} - \dfrac{{\mu}_{1}}{u} = \dfrac{{\mu}_{2} - {\mu}_{1}}{R} . . . \left(1\right)

Substitute the values of the known parameters into equation (1) and solve to calculate the required image distance.

{1.5v−1−15=1.5−1.030⇒1.5v=160−115=−120⇒v=−30\begin{cases}\dfrac{1 . 5}{v} - \dfrac{1}{- 15} & = & \dfrac{1 . 5 - 1 . 0}{30} \\ & ⇒ & \dfrac{1 . 5}{v} = \dfrac{1}{60} - \dfrac{1}{15} \\ & = & - \dfrac{1}{20} \\ & ⇒ & v = - 30\end{cases}

Hence, the image is formed at a distance of 30cm30cm from the pole on the same direction as the object is placed.
