A narrow parallel beam of light is incident on a transparent sphere of refractive indexn. If the beam finally gets focussed at a point situated at a distance = 2 × (radius of sphere) from the centre of the sphere, then findn?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:



From first refraction

μ 2 v - μ 1 u = μ 2 - μ 1 R

n AI 1 - 1 = n - 1 R

AI ' = n R n - 1

for 2nd refraction

u = BI

= A I - 2 R

= n R n - 1 - 2 R

= ( n - 2 n + 2 ) R n - 1

u = ( 2 - n ) ( n - 1 ) R

apply μ 2 v - μ 1 u = μ 2 - μ 1 R

1 R - n ( n - 1 ) ( 2 - n ) R = 1 - n - R

- n ( n - 1 ) ( 2 - n ) R = n - 1  R - 1 R

n ( n - 1 ) ( n - 2 ) = n - 2

n n - 1 = n - 2 2

n 2 - n = n 2 + 4 - 4 n

3 n = 4

n = 4 3
