Question

Light from a point source in air falls on a convex spherical glass surface of refractive index 1.5 and radius of curvature 80cm. The distance of light source from the glass surface is 100cm. At what position is the image formed?

Solution
Verified by Toppr

By this formula

n2/v - n1/u = (n2-n1)/R
1.5/v = (1.5-1)/20 + 1/-100
1.5/v = 5/200 - 1/100
1.5/v = 5-2/200
1.5/v = 3/200
v = 1.5x200/3 = 100

(a) Derive the mathematical relation between refractive indices n1 and n2 of two media and radius of curvature R for refraction at a convex spherical surface. Consider the object to be a point since lying on the principle axis in rarer medium of refractive index n1 and a real image formed in the denser medium of refractive index n2. Hence, derive Lens Maker's formula.
