A point object in the air is placed symmetrically at a distance of 60 cm in front of a concave spherical surface with a refractive index of 1.5. If the radius of curvature of the surface is 20 cm, find the position of the image formed.

उत्तर
We can use the mirror formula to find the position of the image formed by the concave spherical surface:
Since the object is placed symmetrically in front of the surface, we have:
u = 60 cm
Now, we can substitute these values into the formula:
`n_2/v - n_1/u = (n_2 - n_1)/R`
⇒ `1.5/v = (1.5 - 1)/(-20) + 1/(-60)`
⇒ `1.5/v = 0.5/(-20) - 1/60`
⇒ `1.5/v = -1/40 - 1/60`
⇒ `1.5/v = (-6 - 4)/240`
⇒ `1.5/v = (-10)/240`
⇒ `v = 240 xx 1.5/(-10) = -36`
Taking the reciprocal of both sides, we get:
`v = -36` cm
The negative sign indicates that the image is formed on the same side of the surface as the object, which means it is a virtual image. So, the image is formed 36 cm behind the concave spherical surface.

The equation of refraction at a spherical surface is \[\frac{\mu_2}{\nu} - \frac{\mu_1}{\mu} = \frac{\mu_2 - \mu_1}{R}\]
Taking \[R = \infty\] show that this equation leads to the equation
\[\frac{\text{ Real depth }}{\text{ Apparent depth }} = \frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1}\]

A ray of light from a denser medium strikes a rarer medium at an angle of incidence i as shown in the figure. Refracted and reflected rays make an angle of 90° with each other. The angle of reflection and refraction are r and r'. The critical angle is ______.
Assertion: If critical angle of glass-air pair `("μg" = 3/2)` is θ1 and that of water-air pair `("μw" = 4/3)` is θ2, then the critical angle for the water-glass pair will lie between θ1 and θ2.
Reason: A medium is optically denser if its refractive index is greater.
