Figure shows a transparent hemisphere of radius 3'0 cm made of a material of refractive index 2.0. (a) A narrow beam of parallel rays is incident on the hemisphere as shown in the figure. Are the rays totally reflected at the plane surface ? (b) Find the image formed by the refraction at the first surface. (c) Find the image formed by the reflection or by the refraction at the plane surface. (d) Trace qualitatively the final rays as they come out of the hemisphere.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D

a. For plane surface
`musinthetac=1sin90^@`
thetac=30^@=sin^-1(1/2)`

But there `i=45^@thetac`
so they are torally reflected
b. `mu_2/v-mu_1/u=(mu_2-mu_1)/R here u=oo`
`2/v=9/3`
`=v=6cm`
