A hemispherical glass body of radius 10 cm and refractive index 1.5 is silvered on its curved surface.  A small air bubble is 6 cm below the flat surface inside it along the axis.  The position of the image of the air bubble made by the mirror is seen :

 

  • Option 1)

    14 cm below flat surface

  • Option 2)

    30 cm below flat surface

  • Option 3)

    20 cm below flat surface

  • Option 4)

    16 cm below flat surface

As we learnt in

Relation between focal length and radius of curvature -

f=\frac{R}{2}

 

- wherein

R = Radius of curvature

This is valid only for smaller angle of incidence.

i.e.paraxial rays

 

 

Mirror Formula -

\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}


 

- wherein

u= Object distance from pole of mirror.

v= Image distance from pole of mirror.

f= focal length of the mirror.

 

 

Relation between real depth and apparent depth -

\frac{n_{i}}{d}= \frac{n_{r}}{d{}'}

 

- wherein

n_{i} = Refractive index of medium of incident.

n_{r} = Refractive index of medium of refraction.

d = distance of object.

d{}' = apparent  depth

 

 Given radius of hemispherical glass R = 10 cm

\therefore   focla length f=\frac{10}{2}=-5\ cm

    u=(10-6)=-4\ cm

By using mirror formula

\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{-4}=\frac{1}{-5}\ \; \Rightarrow\ \; v = 20\ cm

Apparent height h_{a}=h_{r}\frac{\mu_{1}}{\mu_{2}}=30\times \frac{1}{1.5}=20\ cm

below flat surface.

Correct option is 3.
