Refractive index of glass slab shown in ...

Refractive index of glass slab shown in figure is `1.5.` Focal length of mirror is `20cm`. Find
(a) total number of reflections before final image is formed.
(b) reduced steps.
(c) value of x, so that final image coincides with the object.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C, D
(a) There are total four refraction and one reflection.
(b) Reduced steps are three, first slab , then mirror and then again slab.
(c) Shift due to the slab,
` s=\(1-(1)/(mu))t=(1-(2)/(3))(9)=3`cm
Actual distance from mirror to object is `(19+x)`cm Slab will reduce this distance by 3cm.
So, apparent distance will be `(16+x)cm`
Now, if `16+x=R=2f=40`cm or `x=24`cm
then ray of light will fall normal to the cancave mirror. It will retrace its path and final image will coincide with the object
`x=24`cm
