A point object is kept at a distance of 2m from origin on x- axis. A quarter cylinder of radius R=30 cm and refractive index mu=1.5 having its axis _|__(r) to plane of paper is placed between the object and the parabolic reflector at a distance of 130cm from origin as shown in figure. The position of the image after reflection from the parabolic reflector y^(2)=2x is 25lamdacm. Find the value of lamda?

Answer»


Solution :After refraction through the quarter cylinder the emergent rays falls on the parabolic reflector PARALLEL to `x` -AXIS
`tan(pi-theta)=-1/((DY)/(dx)|_((x_(1),y_(1))))=y_(1)`
`tan2theta=(2tantheta)/(1-tan^(2)theta)=(y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))`
`impliesx_(2)=1/2m=50cm`
