Optics 2 Question 18

18. A transparent thin film of uniform thickness and refractive index n1=1.4 is coated on the convex spherical surface of radius R at one end of a long solid glass cylinder of refractive index n2=1.5, as shown in the figure. Rays of light parallel to the axis of the cylinder traversing through the film from air to glass get focused at distance f1 from the film, while rays of light traversing from glass to air get focused at distance f2 from the film. Then

(a) |f1|=3R

(b) |f1|=2.8R

(c) |f2|=2R

(d) |f2|=1.4R

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 18. (a,c)

Solution:

  1. 1ffilm =(n11)1R1Rffilm =

(infinite)

There is no effect of presence of film.

From Air to Glass

Using the equation n2v1u=n21R

1.5v1=1.51Rv=3Rf1=3R

From Glass to Air Again using the same equation

1vn2u=1n2R1v1.5=11.5Rv=2Rf2=2R
