A parallel narrow beam of light is incident on the surface of a transparent hemisphere of radius R and refractive index `mu=1.5` as shown. The position of the image formed by refraction at the image formed by refraction at the spherical surface only as

A

`R/2`

B

`3R`

C

`R/3`

D

`2R`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Applying, `mu_2/v-mu_1/u=(mu_2-mu_1)/R` we get,
`1.5/v-1/oo=(1.5-1.0)/(+R)`
`:. v=+3R`
