A point object is placed at the center of a glass sphere of radius 6cm and refractive index 1.5. The distance of virtual image from the surface is

A

2 cm

B

4 cm

C

6 cm

D

12 cm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The rays coming from the point object will fall on the glass air interface normally and pass without deviation . Hence if we retrace the path of the refracted rays backward, the image will be formed at the center only
