Question
When a light ray passes from the atmosphere (a) through the combination of two mediums water (b) and glass (c), then find the relationship between the refractive indices of the three mediums.
✓

Answer

Applying Snell's law on points A, B and C, we obtained :
$n_{21}=\frac{\sin i}{\sin r_1}\ldots(i)$
$n_{32}=\frac{\sin r_1}{\sin r_2}\ldots(ii)$
and $\quad$ $n_{31}=\frac{\sin r_2}{\sin i} \ldots(iii)$
Image

Multiplying (i), (ii) and (iii) :
$
n_{21} \times n_{32} \times n_{31}=\frac{\sin i}{\sin r_1} \times \frac{\sin r_1}{\sin r_2} \times \frac{\sin r_2}{\sin i}=1
$
or $\quad$ $n_{21} \times n_{32}=\frac{1}{n_{31}}=n_{31}$
or $\quad$ $\underline {n_{32}=\frac{n_{31}}{n_{21}}}$

(a) A point-image (object) is placed on the principal axis of a convex spherical surface of radius of curvature $R$, the refractive index of the medium on one side of this surface is $n _1$ and the refractive index of the medium on the other side is $n_2$, where $n_2>n_1$. For this, draw a ray diagram and derive the relation between object distance $(u)$, image distance $(v)$ and radius of curvature $( R )$ for refraction from rarer medium to denser medium on a convex spherical surface.
(b) Use the above relation in terms of $n_1$ and $n_2$, to obtain the condition for the position of the object and the radius of curvature when a real image is formed.
