Two concave refracting surface of equal radii of curvature and refractive index 1.5 face each other in air as shown in figure. A point is placed midway in between the centre and one of the vertices. What is the separation between the image of O formed by each refracting surface ? |

Answer» We have for the image formed by the surface on the right side. `mu_(1) = 1, mu_(2) = 1.5, u = - R//2, R_(1) = -R` `(mu_(2))/(v) - (mu_(1))/(u) = (mu_(2)-mu_(1))/(2)` `(1.5)/(v) - (2)/(-R) = (1.50-1.00)/(-R)` `:. v = -(3R)/(5)` The image is at a distance of (R - 3R/5) = 0.4 R from the centre P towards the right side. For the surface on the left side, `mu_(1) = 1, mu_(2) = 1.5, u = 3R//2, R_(2) = R` `(mu_(2))/(v) - (mu_(1))/(u) = (mu_(2) - mu_(1))/(R_(2))` `(1.5)/(v) - (2)/(-3R) = (1.50 - 1.00)/(R)` `(1.5)/(v) = (1)/(2R) + (2)/(3R) = (7)/(6R)` `:. v = (9R)/(7)` Hence, the image is at distance of `((9R)/(7-R) = (2R)/(7))` from the centre O towards the right hand side. The distance between the two images = 0.4R - 2R/7 = 0.114R. |
