Q24.Two transparent media having refractive indices 1. 0 and 1. 5 are separated by a spherical refracting surface of radius of curvature 30 cm. The centre of curvature of surface is towards denser medium and a point object is placed on the principal axis in rarer medium at a distance of 15 cm from the pole of the surface. The distance of image from the pole of the surface is cm.

What This Question Tests

This question requires applying the lens maker's formula for refraction at a single spherical surface, using correct sign conventions.

Concepts Tested

Refraction at spherical surfacesSign conventions for optics

Formulas Used

(n2/v) - (n1/u) = (n2 - n1)/R
