The figure shows a transparent sphere of radius $R$ and refractive index $\mu$. An object $O$ is placed at a distance $x$ from the pole of the first surface so that a real image is formed at the pole of the exactly opposite surface. If an object is placed at a distance $R$ from the pole of the first surface,then the real image is formed at a distance $R$ from the pole of the second surface. The refractive index $\mu$ of the sphere is given by

  • A
    $1.5$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • D
    none of these

Locate the image formed by refraction in the situation shown in the figure.

Light from a point source in air falls on a spherical glass surface ($n = 1.5$ and radius of curvature $= 20\; cm$). The distance of the light source from the glass surface is $100\; cm$. At what position (in $cm$) the image is formed?

$A$ spherical surface of radius of curvature $R$ separates air from glass (refractive index $= 1.5$). The centre of curvature is in the glass medium. $A$ point object $O$ is placed in air on the optic axis of the surface,so that its real image is formed at $I$ inside the glass. The line $OI$ intersects the spherical surface at $P$ and $PO = PI$. The distance $PO$ is equal to: (in $R$)

$A$ spherical surface of radius of curvature $R$ separates air from glass of refractive index $1.5$. The centre of curvature is in the glass. $A$ point object $P$ placed in air forms a real image $Q$ in the glass. The line $PQ$ cuts the surface at point $O$ and $PO = OQ = x$. Hence the distance $x$ is equal to (in $R$)

$A$ point object $O$ is placed in front of a glass rod having a spherical end of radius of curvature $30 \,cm$. The image would be formed at
