Spherical Surfaces & Thin Lenses

Region I and II are separated by a spherical surface of radius 25 cm. An object is kept in region I at a distance of 40 cm from the surface. The distance of the image from the surface is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Light goes from region I (μ1=1.25\mu_1 = 1.25) to II (μ2=1.4\mu_2 = 1.4). Centre C is on the object side, so R=−25R = -25 cm; u=−40u = -40 cm.
  2. 1.4v−1.25−40=1.4−1.25−25\frac{1.4}{v} - \frac{1.25}{-40} = \frac{1.4 - 1.25}{-25}
  3. 1.4v=−0.006−0.03125=−0.03725\frac{1.4}{v} = -0.006 - 0.03125 = -0.03725
  4. v=−37.58v = -37.58 cm (virtual image in region I).
  5. So the answer is (d) 37.58 cm.
