    A glass sphere, refractive index 1.5 and radius 10 cm, has a spherical cavity of radius 5 cm concentric with it. A narrow beam of parallel light is directed into the sphere. Find the final image and its nature.  

    A) 25 cm left of \[{{S}_{4}},\]virtual  

    B) 25 cm right of \[{{S}_{4}},\]real

    C) 15 cm left of \[{{S}_{4}},\]virtual 

    D) 20 cm right of \[{{S}_{4}},\]virtual

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] We will have single surface refractions successively at the four surfaces \[{{S}_{1}},\text{ }{{S}_{2}},\text{ }{{S}_{3}}\,\]and \[{{S}_{4}}.\] Do not forget to shift origin to the vertex of respective surface. \[\frac{1.5}{{{v}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{\infty }=\frac{\left( 1.5-1 \right)}{+10}\text{     }{{v}_{1}}=30cm\] First image is object for the refraction at second surface. For refraction at surface \[{{S}_{2}}\]: Light travels from glass to air \[\frac{1}{{{v}_{2}}}-\frac{1.5}{\left( +25 \right)}=\frac{1-1.5}{\left( + \right)5}\text{     }{{\text{v}}_{2}}=-25cm\] For refraction at surface\[{{S}_{4}}\]: Light travels from air to glass. \[\frac{1.5}{{{v}_{3}}}-\frac{1}{\left( -35 \right)}=\frac{\left( 1-1.5 \right)}{\left( -5 \right)}\text{     }{{\text{v}}_{3}}=-35/3cm\] For refraction at surface\[{{S}_{4}}\]: Light travels from glass to air similarly, \[{{V}_{4}}=-25cm\] The final image is virtual, formal at 25 cm to the left of the vertex of surface\[{{S}_{4}}\].
