A hemisphere of radius R, made of glass ...

A hemisphere of radius R, made of glass of refractive index (3/2) is placed on 'the table. A point source of light is placed at a distance 2R from the centre, of hemisphere. If source is viewed diametrically opposite side of hemisphere. Find the position of image of source.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Refraction due to first surface.
`(3/2)/v_(1) - 1/(-R) = (3/2 -1)/R implies v_(1)= -3R`
Refraction due to second surface.
`1/v - (3//2)/(-(3R + 2R)) = (1 - 3/2)/(-R)`
Position of image from the centre of hemisphere is at a distance 6R opposite side of source.
