Question

A spherical surface of radius 30cm separates two transparent media A and B with refractive indices 1.33 and 1.48 respectively. The medium A is on the convex side of the surface. Where should a point object be placed in medium A so that the paraxial rays become parallel after refraction at the surface?

Answer

Since, paraxial rays become parallel after refraction i.e. image is formed at $\infty.$$\text{v}=\infty, \ \mu_1=1.33, \ \text{u}=?, \ \mu_2=1.48, \ \text{R}=30\text{cm}$
$\frac{\mu_2}{\text{v}}-\frac{\mu_1}{\text{u}}=\frac{\mu_2-\mu_1}{\text{R}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1.48}{\infty}-\frac{1.33}{\text{u}}=\frac{1.48-1.33}{30}\Rightarrow-\frac{1.33}{\text{u}}-\frac{0.15}{30}$
$\Rightarrow\text{u}=-266.0\text{cm}$
$\therefore$ Object should be placed at a distance of 266cm from surface (convex) on side A.
