Fig. shows an equiconvex lens (of refractive index `1.5`) in contact with a liquid layer on top of a plane mirror. A small needle with its tip on the principal axis is moved along the axis until its inverted image is found at the position of the needle. The distance of the needle from the lens is measured to be `45.0 cm`. The liquid is removed and the experiment is repeated. The new distance is measured to be `30.0 cm`. What is the refractive index of the liquid ?

A

`5//4`

B

`9//8`

C

`4//3`

D

`6//5`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`f_(1)=R`, `f_(2)=-(R )/(mu-1)`
So, `(1)/(R )-(mu-1)/(R )=(1)/(45)`
and `R=30cm` , so `mu=4//3`

An equiconvex lens, with redii of curvature of magnitude 10 cm each, is put over a liquid layer poured on top of a plane mirror. A small needle, with its tip on the principal axis of the lens, is moved along the axis until its inverted real image coincides with the needle itself. The distance of the needle, from the lens, is measured to be 15 cm . On removing the liquid layer, and repeating the experiment the distance is measured to be 10 cm . Given that the two values of the distance measured represent the force length values in the two cases, calculate the refractive index of the liqiud.

The distance from the lens in measured to be x. On removing the liquid layer and repeating the experiment, the distance is found to be y . Obtain the expression for the refractive index of the liquid in terms of x and y.
