Using formula of spherical surface or otherwise, find the apparent depth of an object placed `10cm` below the water surface, if seen near normally form air.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Put `R = oo` in the formula of the Refraction at Spherical Surfaces we get,
`v = (un_(2))/(n_(1))`
`u = -10cm`
`n_(1) = (4)/(3)`
`n_(2) = 1`
`v = (10xx1)/(4//3) = 7.5cm`

negative sign imples that the images is formed in water.
`d_(app) = (d_("real"))/(mu_("rel"))`
`= (10)/(4//3) = (30)/(4) = 7.5cm`

There is small air bubble inside a glass sphere (mu = 1.5) of radius 5 cm . The bubble is at 'O' at 7.5cm below the surface of the glass. The sphere is placed inside water (mu = (4)/(3)) such that the top surface of glass is 10cm below the surface of water. The bubble is viewed normally from air. Find the apperent depth of the bubble.

A spherical mirror is placed 10 cm below the level of water. A point oject is placed in air 30 cm above the water surface on the axis of the mirror such that two images seen by an observer above the water surface coincide. The images are formed by partial reflection at the water surface and due to emerging light after feflection from the mirror. Find the focal length of the mirror. (mu_("water")=(4)/(3))

A convex mirror is formed from a spherical surface of radius 20 cm. Find the power of the mirror.

A point source of light is placed inside water and a thin converging lens of focal length f is placed just outside the surface of water. The image of source is formed at a distance of 50 cm from the surface of water. When the lens is placed just inside the water surface the image is formed at a distance of 40 cm from the surface of water. if focal length of the lens in air is f=(100k)/8 cm, then find the value of k. (given refractive index of lens is 3/2 and that of water is 4/3 and in both cases image is formed inside water for the viewer in air).
