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 the refractive index $\mu$ of the sphere is varied,then the position $x$ of the object will also vary. Identify the correct statement.

  • A
    If the value of $\mu$ increases,the value of $x$ decreases.
  • B
    If the value of $\mu$ becomes equal to unity,then $x$ tends to infinity.
  • C
    The value of $\mu$ must not be less than $1$.
  • D
    All the above.

$A$ spherical glass is attached to a rigid wall as shown in the figure. An observer located at point $O$ is looking at a point $A$ on the wall. The refractive index of the glass is $1.5$ and that of air is $1.0$. The distances are $OA = 8 \text{ cm}$, $XA = 3 \text{ cm}$. If the radius of curvature of the spherical glass surface is $R = 5 \text{ cm}$, then the apparent distance of $A$ from the observer $O$ is (in $\text{ cm}$)

$A$ spherical surface of radius of curvature $R$ separates air (refractive index $1.0$) from glass (refractive index $1.5$). The centre of curvature is in the glass. $A$ point object $P$ placed in air is found to have a real image $Q$ in the glass. The line $PQ$ cuts the surface at a point $O$,and $PO = OQ$. The distance $PO$ is equal to (in $R$)

$A$ luminous point object $O$ is placed at a distance $2R$ from the spherical boundary separating two transparent media of refractive indices $n_1$ and $n_2$ as shown,where $R$ is the radius of curvature of the spherical surface. If $n_1 = \frac{4}{3}$,$n_2 = \frac{3}{2}$ and $R = 10 \text{ cm}$,the image is obtained at a distance from $P$ equal to:

Three glass cylinders of equal height $H = 30 \text{ cm}$ and same refractive index $n = 1.5$ are placed on a horizontal surface as shown in the figure.
