A glass sphere, refractive index 1.5 and radius 10cm, has a spherical cavity of radius 5cm concentric with it. A narrow beam of parallel light is directed into the sphere. Find the final image and its nature. A. 25cm left of `S_(4)`, virtualB. 25 cm right of `S_(4)` , realC. 15 cm left of `S_(4)`, virtualD. 20cm right of `S_(4)`, virtual

Answer» Correct Answer - a.
We will have single surface refractions successsively at the four surfaces `S_(1),S_(2),S_(3) and S_(4)`. Do not forget to shift origin to the vertex of respective surface.
Refractive at first surface `S_(1):` Light travels from air to glass.
`(1.5)/(upsilon_(1))-(1)/(oo)=((1.5-1))/((+10))`
`upsilon_(1)=30cm`
First image is object for the refractioni at second surface.
For refraction at surface `S_(2):` Light travels from glass to air.
`(1.5)/(upsilon_(2))-(1.5)/((+25))=(1-1.5)/((+5))`
`upsilon_(2)=-25cm`
For refraction at surface `S_(3):` Light travels from air to glass.
`(1.5)/(upsilon_(3))-(1)/((-35))=((1.5-1))/((-5))`
`upsilon_(3)=-35//3cm`
For refraction at surface `S_(4):` Light travels from glass to air
`(1)/(upsilon_(4))-(1.5)/(-(35//3+5))=(1-1.5)/(-10)`
The final image is virtual, formed at 25cm to the left of the vertex of surface `S_(4)`.
