Optics Question 84

Question: A glass hemisphere of radius 0.04 m and R.I. of the material 1.6 is placed centrally over a cross mark on a paper (i) with the flat face; (ii) with the curved face in contact with the paper. In each case the cross mark is viewed directly from above. The position of the images will be

[ISM Dhanbad 1994]

Options:

A) (i) 0.04 m from the flat face; (ii) 0.025 m from the flat face

B) (i) At the same position of the cross mark; (ii) 0.025 m below the flat face

C) (i) 0.025 m from the flat face; (ii) 0.04 m from the flat face

D) For both (i) and (ii) 0.025 m from the highest point of the hemisphere

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Case (i) When flat face is in contact with paper.

μ2vμ1u=μ2μ1R

where μ2 = R. I. of medium in which light rays are going = 1 μ1 = R. I. of medium from which light rays are coming = 1.6 u = distance of object from curved surface = - 0.04 m R = - 0.04 m.

1v1.6(0.04)=11.6(0.04)v=0.04m i.e. the image will be formed at the same position of cross.

Case (ii) When curved face is in contact with paper μ=Real depth (h)Apparent depth (h)

1.6=0.04h

h=0.025m (Below the flat face)
