COMPREHENSION TYPE
Figure shows a point object placed in front of a transparent sphere of radius 20 cm and
refractive index 1.5. The sphere forms an image due to refraction at surface I followed
by refraction at surface II. The sphere is kept in air and the object is located at distance
x from P1. It is found that for x > x1, the formed due to refraction at surface I is real,
the final image formed by the sphere is also real and forms to the right of P2. For x2 <
x < x1, the image formed by surface I is virtual while the final image formed by the
sphere is real and forms to the right of P2. However, for x < x2, the image formed by
the sphere are virtual.
It is also found that the final image is virtual if the distance of image formed by surface I from P2 is less than y. The
object is now moved away from the sphere so that x becomes large and say, x → ∞. In this case, the final image is
formed at distance y1 from P2. If the given sphere is replaced by another one of the same radius but of refractive
index. 2.5, the final image is formed at distance y2 from P2.
11. Distance x1 such that for x > x1, the image formed by surface I and also the final image are real, is
a.60 cm b. 40 cm c. 20 cm d. 10 cm
12. Distance x2 such that for x2 <x <x1, the image formed by surface I is virtual but the final image is real, is
a.10 cm b. 25 cm c. 40 cm d. 32.5 cm
13. As stated above, if the distance of image formed by surface 1 from P2 is less than y, the final image is virtual.
Then, y will be
a. 40 cm b. 60 cm c. 80 cm d. 100 cm
14. For the object place at x → ∞, the given sphere of refractive index 1.5 forms an image at distance y1 from P2.
a. this image is real and y1 = 12.5 cm right of P2 b. this image is real and y1 = 10 cm right of P2
c. this image is real and y1 = 20 cm right of P2 d. this image is virtual and y1 = 12 cm left of P2
15. For the object place at x → ∞, a sphere of the same radius but of refractive index 2.5 forms an image at distance y 2
from P2
a.this image is real and y2 = 6.67 cm right of P2 b. this image is virtual and y2 = 6.67 cm left of P2
c. this image is virtual and y2 = 3.33 cm left of P2 d. this image is real and y2 = 2.5 cm left of P2
