$A$ spherical surface of radius of curvature $10\,cm$ separates two media $X$ and $Y$ of refractive indices $3/2$ and $4/3$ respectively. The centre of the spherical surface lies in the denser medium. An object is placed in medium $X$. For the image to be real,the object distance must be:

  • A
    greater than $80\,cm$
  • B
    less than $90\,cm$
  • C
    greater than $90\,cm$
  • D
    less than $80\,cm$

$A$ spherical glass is attached to a rigid wall as shown in the figure. An observer located at point $O$ is looking at a point $A$ on the wall. The refractive index of the glass is $1.5$ and that of air is $1.0$. The distances are $OA = 8 \text{ cm}$, $XA = 3 \text{ cm}$. If the radius of curvature of the spherical glass surface is $R = 5 \text{ cm}$, then the apparent distance of $A$ from the observer $O$ is (in $\text{ cm}$)
