A hemispherical portion of the surface of a solid glass sphere (mu = 1.5) of radius r is silvered to make the inner side reflecting. An object is placed on the axis of the hemisphere at a distance 3r from the centre of the sphere. The light from the object is refracted at the unsilvered part, then reflected from the silvered part and again refracted at the unsilvered part. Locate the final image formed.

Read the passage and Answer the following question: In, vacuum the velocity of light radiation with different wavelength is the same. But in a material medium, the velocity of different colour radiations is not the same and they travel with different paths. Due to this, the refractive index of the medium is different for different colours. If white beam of light is incident on a glass prism, the angle of refraction for different colours is different. When Sunlight is incident on a refracting surface, then it gets split into seven coloured spectrum and emerges out. The splitting of light into its component colours is called dispersion. Sir Isaac Newton was the first to use a glass prism to obtain the spectrum of Sunlight. A glass prism is transparent medium bounded by two plane surfaces inclined at an angle. When white light is dispersed into seven colours by a prism, different colours of light bend through different angles with respect to incident ray. Out of these seven colours, red light bends the least, while violet light bends the most. So, the rays of each colour emerge along different paths and becomes distinct. Hence, we get spectrum of seven - different colours. Q. How do emergent rays appear ?
