Question
Following figure shows three transparent media of refractive indices \[\mu_1 , \mu_2 \text{ and } \mu_3\]. A point object O is placed in the medium \[\mu_2\]. If the entire medium on the right of the spherical surface has refractive index \[\mu_3\], the image forms at O". In the situation shown,
Options
the image forms between O' and O"
the image forms to the left of O'
the image forms to the right of O"
two images form, one at O' and the other at O".

Solution
two images form, one at O' and the other at O"
Light will be refracted differently in both mediums on the right side. Thus, two images will be formed, one at O' due to refraction from medium μ1 and another at O" due to refraction from medium μ3.μ1

(i) Consider a thin lens placed between a source (S) and an observer (O) (Figure). Let the thickness of the lens vary as `w(b) = w_0 - b^2/α`, where b is the verticle distance from the pole. `w_0` is a constant. Using Fermat’s principle i.e. the time of transit for a ray between the source and observer is an extremum, find the condition that all paraxial rays starting from the source will converge at a point O on the axis. Find the focal length.
(ii) A gravitational lens may be assumed to have a varying width of the form
