A point object O is placed in front of a glass rod having spherical end of radius of curvature 30 cm . The image would be formed at
Options
- A30 cm left
- Binfinity
- C1 cm to the right
- D18 cm to the left
Correct answer
A. 30 cm left
Step-by-step solution
Focal length of glass rod, f= R 2 = 30 2 =15 ~cm Distance of object, u=-15 ~cm From formula, aligned ₂ v - ₁ u & = ₂- ₁ R ₂ & =1.5 (for glass) ₁ & =1 (for air) 1.3 v & =- 1 -15 = 1.5-1 30 1.5 v + 1 15 & = 0.5 30 1.5 v & = 1 60 - 1 15 1.5 v & = -1 20 v & =-30 ~cm aligned
