The slab of a material of refractive index , as shown in the figure, has curved surface of radius of curvature and a plane surface . On the left of is air and on the right of is water with refractive indices as given in the figure. An object is placed at a distance of from pole as shown. The distance of the final image of from as viewed from the left is




Important Questions on Ray Optics

In a thin spherical fish bowl of radius filled with water of refractive index , there is a small fish at a distance of from the centre as shown in the figure. Where will the image of fish appear, if seen from ?

The observer sees the distance as infinitely large. If the refractive index of the liquid is and that of glass is then is

The first focal length for refraction at a spherical surface is defined as the value of corresponding to (as shown) with refractive indices of two mediums as and . The second focal length is defined as value of for (where is the radius of the curved surface). Choose the correct option(s).

The graph shows how the magnification , produced by a convex thin lens, varies with the image distance . What is the focal length?
