An object is placed at a distance of $20 \, cm$ in a rarer medium from the pole of a convex spherical refracting surface of radius of curvature $10 \, cm$. If the refractive index of the rarer medium is $1$ and that of the denser medium is $2$,then the position of the image is at

  • A
    $(40/3) \, cm$ from the pole and inside the denser medium
  • B
    $40 \, cm$ from the pole and inside the denser medium
  • C
    $(40/3) \, cm$ from the pole and outside the denser medium
  • D
    $40 \, cm$ from the pole and outside the denser medium

An image is formed at a distance of $100 \ cm$ from the glass surface when light from a point source in air falls on a spherical glass surface with a refractive index of $1.5$. The distance of the light source from the glass surface is $100 \ cm$. The radius of curvature is (in $cm$)

In a long glass tube,a mixture of two liquids $A$ and $B$ with refractive indices $1.3$ and $1.4$ respectively,forms a convex refractive meniscus towards $A$. If an object placed at $13 \ \text{cm}$ from the vertex of the meniscus in $A$ forms an image with a magnification of $-2$,then the radius of curvature of the meniscus is:

$A$ concave spherical refracting surface separates two media,glass and air $(\mu_1 = 1.5, \mu_2 = 1.0)$. If the image is to be real,at what minimum distance $u$ should the object be placed in the glass if $R$ is the radius of curvature?

Three glass cylinders of equal height $H = 30 \text{ cm}$ and same refractive index $n = 1.5$ are placed on a horizontal surface as shown in the figure. Cylinder $I$ has a flat top,cylinder $II$ has a convex top,and cylinder $III$ has a concave top. The radii of curvature of the two curved tops are same $(R = 3 \text{ m})$. If $H_1, H_2$ and $H_3$ are the apparent depths of a point $X$ on the bottom of the three cylinders,respectively,the correct statement$(s)$ is/are:
$(1) H_3 > H_1$
$(2) 0.8 \text{ cm} < (H_2 - H_1) < 0.9 \text{ cm}$
$(3) H_2 > H_3$
$(4) H_2 > H_1$
