$A$ solid hemisphere of refractive index $\mu_1 = 3/2$ and radius $R = 20\ cm$ is placed as shown in the figure. Another special cylindrical glass of refractive index $\mu_2$,radius $R$,and thickness $t = 2R/3$ is placed adjacent to the flat surface of the solid hemisphere. There is a very small luminous spot at $P$ just inside the solid hemisphere,and the $MN$ surface of the special glass is silvered. Considering only paraxial rays,if the final image of point $P$ for an observer to the left of the hemisphere is at the center $C$ of the hemisphere,find the refractive index $\mu_2$ of the special glass.

  • A
    The refractive index $\mu_2$ is $2$.
  • B
    The refractive index $\mu_2$ is $3/2$.
  • C
    The refractive index $\mu_2$ is $1$.
  • D
    The refractive index $\mu_2$ is $4/3$.
