The figure shows a transparent sphere of radius $R$ and refractive index $\mu$. An object $O$ is placed at a distance $x$ from the pole of the first surface so that a real image is formed at the pole of the exactly opposite surface. If an object is placed at a distance $R$ from the pole of the first surface,then the real image is formed at a distance $R$ from the pole of the second surface. The refractive index $\mu$ of the sphere is given by

  • A
    $1.5$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • D
    none of these

Two identical glass rods $S_1$ and $S_2$ (refractive index $= 1.5$) have one convex end of radius of curvature $10 \ cm$. They are placed with the curved surfaces at a distance $d$ as shown in the figure,with their axes (shown by the dashed line) aligned. When a point source of light $P$ is placed inside rod $S_1$ on its axis at a distance of $50 \ cm$ from the curved face,the light rays emanating from it are found to be parallel to the axis inside $S_2$. The distance $d$ is (in $cm$)

$A$ point object is placed at the center of a glass sphere of radius $6 \ cm$ and refractive index $1.5$. The distance of the virtual image from the surface of the sphere is.......$cm$

$A$ spherical glass is attached to a rigid wall as shown in the figure. An observer located at point $O$ is looking at a point $A$ on the wall. The refractive index of the glass is $1.5$ and that of air is $1.0$. The distances are $OA = 8 \text{ cm}$, $XA = 3 \text{ cm}$. If the radius of curvature of the spherical glass surface is $R = 5 \text{ cm}$, then the apparent distance of $A$ from the observer $O$ is (in $\text{ cm}$)

In the figure shown here,a point object $O$ is placed in air. $A$ spherical boundary separates various media with a radius of curvature $2.0 \, m$. $AB$ is the principal axis. The refractive index above $AB$ is $1.6$ and below $AB$ is $2.0$. The separation between the images formed due to refraction at the spherical surface is

View Solution

The image of an object placed in air formed by a convex refracting surface is at a distance of $10 \ m$ behind the surface. The image is real and is at $\frac{2}{3}$ of the distance of the object from the surface. The wavelength of light inside the surface is $\frac{2}{3}$ times the wavelength in air. The radius of the curved surface is $\frac{x}{13} \ m$. The value of $x$ is ....... .
