A parallel beam of light falls on a solid tranparent sphere. Q. For what value of refractive index `mu`, the thin beam can be focussed at centre of sphere.A. 1.5B. 2C. 2.5D. none of these |

Answer» Correct Answer - d. `(mu)/(y)-(1)/(oo)=(mu-1)/(R)rArr(muR)/(mu-1)` If beam is focussed at A, than ` y=2R` `rArr 2R=(muR)/(mu-1)=mu=2` The above is valid for paraxial rays, hence beam should be thin. If `mugt2` , then `ylt2R` , hence beam can be focussed before A. For thin beam to be focussed at A, `y=R`. `rArr R=(muR)/(mu-1)rArr mu=oo` (not possible) |
