One end of a cylindrical rod is grounded to a hemispherical surface of radius R = 30 mm. The refractive index of rod is 1.5. Find the position of the image placed on the axis of the rod at 10 cm from the pole.

Answer»

Solution :
Refraction OCCURS from air to glass at CONVEX spherical surface APB.
`mu_(1)=1,""mu_(2)=1.5`
`u=-10cm,""R=30mm=3cm`
We have,
`(mu_(2))/(v)-(mu_(1))/(u)=(mu_(2)-mu_(1))/(R )`
`rArr""(1.5)/(v)+(1)/(10)=(1.5-1)/(3)=(0.5)/(3)`
`rArr""(1.5)/(v)=(0.5)/(3)-(1)/(10)`
`""=(5-3)/(30)=(2)/(30)=(1)/(15)`
`rArr""v=15xx1.5=22.5cm`
As v is positive, so a real image is formed at 22.5 cm from END P of the rod.
