A concave spherical surface of radius of...

A concave spherical surface of radius of curvature `10 cm` separates two mediums `X` and `Y` of refractive indices `4//3` and `3//2` respectively. Centre of curvature of the surfaces lies in the medium `X`. An object is placed in medium `X`.

A

image is always real

B

image is real if the object distance is greater than 90 cm

C

image is always virtual

D

image is virtual if the object distance is less than 90 cm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`(3//2)/(v) - (4//3)/(u) = (3//2 - 4//3)/(-10)`
`(3)/(2v) = (1)/(-60)- (4)/(3u)`
So `v= (2)/(3)`x-(ve)
