Parallel rays from a distant object are traveling in air and then are incident on the concave end of a glass rod with a radius of curvature of 15.0 cm. The refractive index of the glass is 1.50. What is the distance between the vertex of the glass surface and the image formed by the refraction at the concave surface of the rod? Is the image in the air or in the glass?

Answer:

the distance of image from the vertex is 45 cm and the image formed is in the glass.

Explanation:

distance of object, u = - infinity

radius of curvature, R = - 15 cm

refractive index, n = 1.5

Let the distance of image is v.

Use the formula

[tex]-\frac{n1}{u}+\frac{n2}{v}=\frac{n2- n1}{R}\\\\-\frac{1}{\infty }+\frac{1.5}{v}=\frac{1.5-1}{-15}\\\\v=45 cm[/tex]

The image is in the glass.
