Consider a point object $O$ situated at a distance of $30 \ cm$ from the centre of a sphere of radius $2 \ cm$ and refractive index $\mu_2 = 1.5$ as shown in the figure. If the refractive index of the region surrounding this sphere is $\mu_1 = 1.4$, then the position of the image due to refraction by the sphere with respect to the centre is:

  • A
    $30 \ cm$
  • B
    $45 \ cm$
  • C
    $\infty$
  • D
    $28 \ cm$

$A$ spherical surface of radius of curvature $R$ separates air from glass of refractive index $1.5$. The centre of curvature is in the glass. $A$ point object $P$ placed in air forms a real image $Q$ in the glass. The line $PQ$ cuts the surface at point $O$ and $PO = OQ = x$. Hence the distance $x$ is equal to (in $R$)
