Q23.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 : (1) 14cm below flat surface (2) 20cm below flat surface (3) 16cm below flat surface (4) 30cm below flat surface

What This Question Tests

This multi-step problem requires applying the laws of refraction at a plane surface followed by reflection from a spherical mirror, carefully using sign conventions for image formation.

Concepts Tested

Refraction at plane surfaceReflection from spherical mirrorSign conventions in opticsImage formation

Formulas Used

μ₂/v - μ₁/u = 0 (for plane surface)

1/v + 1/u = 1/f (for spherical mirror)

9.1 A small candle, 2.5 cm in size is placed at 27 cm in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature 36 cm. At what distance from the mirror should a screen be placed in order to obtain a sharp image? Describe the nature and size of the image. If the candle is moved closer to the mirror, how would the screen have to be moved?
