A point object is above the principal axis in the concave side of a spherical interface separating medium 1 from medium 2. I f the object is in medium 1 and `mu_(1) gt mu_(2)`, determine the position of the image by ray tracing.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

a. IF `x gt R`, then image is at `I_(1)`

b. If `R lt x lt (mu_(1)R)/(mu_(1)-R_(2))` then image is formed at `I_(2)`.

c. If `x gt R` , image is formed at `I_(2)`
