SOLUTION :`u=OO`
`n_(g)=1.5`
`n_(a)=1`
`r=0.10m`
(i) for I surface using the FORMULA
`(n_(0))/(-u)+(n_(1))/(v)=(n_(0)-n_(1))/(r)`
`(1)/(oo) +(1.5)/(v)=(1.5-1)/(0.10)=5`
`thereforev=(1.5)/(5)=0.3m`from `p_(1)`
The IMAGE will serve as a virtual object for II surface.
Distance of I. from `P_(2)=(0.3-0.2)=0.10m`
`therefore (1.5)/(-0.10)+(1)/(v)=(1.5-1)/(0.10)=5`
`(1)/(v) - =5+15=20`
or`v=(1)/(20)=0.05m ` from `P_(2)`
`therefore ` The final image will be at 0.05 m from `P_(2)`.
