A spherical refrativng suurface of denser medium `(mu=1.5)` is placed in a rarer medium `(mu=1.3)` .for an object lying in rarer medium at 20 cm from the surface,the virtual image is formed at 60 cm in rarer medium.find out the radius fo cruvature of the surface.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`u=-10cm`
`v=60cm`
[ `:.` Lens forms the virtual image in rarer medium]
`u_(2)=1.5," "mu_(1)=1.3`
For the object in rarer medium
`-(mu_(1))/u+(mu_(2))/v=(mu_(2)-mu_(1))/R`
`-1.3/(-20)+1.5/(-60)=(1.5-1.3)/R`
`1.3/20-1.5/60=0.2/R`
`(3.9-1.5)/60=0.2/R`
`2.4/60=0.2/R`
`R=(60xx0.2)/2.4=5cm`
A sth valueof R is positive so it si a convex refracting surface.

A concave spherical surface of refractive index 3//2 is immersed in water of refracitve index 4//3 .If a piont object lies in water at a distance of 10 cm from the pole of the refracting surfae,calculate the position of the image.Given that radius of curvature of the spherical surface is 18 cm.

What curvature must be given to the bounding surface of a refracting medium (mu=1.5) for the virtual image of an object in the adjacent medium (mu=1) at 10 cm to be formed at a distance of 40 cm?

A spherical convex surface of radius of curvature 20 cm, made of glass (mu=1.5) is placed in air. Find the positon of the image formed, if a point object is placed at 30 cm in front of the convex surface on the principal axis.

For a spherical surface,when refraction takes place from a rarer medium (mu_1) to a denser medium (mu_2) , we write -(mu_1)/u + (mu_2)/v = ( mu_2-mu_1)/R where the symbols have their usual meanings. Now suppose that the object is placed in the denser to the rarer medium . Then, rewrite the above equation.
