Ques. 1JEE Main 2025, 2 April (Morning Shift)

[figure] A spherical surface separates two media of refractive indices 1 and 1.5 as shown in figure. Distance of the image of an object 'O', is : (C is the center of curvature of the spherical surface and R is the radius of curvature)

  1. 0.24 m left to the spherical surface
  2. 0.24 m right to the spherical surface
  3. 0.4 m left to the spherical surface
  4. 0.4 m right to the spherical surface

Answer

(3) 0.4 m left to the spherical surface

Solution

For refraction at a spherical surface, n2v - n1u = n2 - n1R.

Light travels left to right (from O); taking distances from the pole, positive to the right, n1 = 1, n2 = 1.5, u = -0.2 m and R = +0.4 m (C is on the right), so

1.5v - 1-0.2 = 1.5 - 10.4

1.5v = 1.25 - 5 = -3.75

v = -0.4 m

The (virtual) image is 0.4 m to the left of the spherical surface.

Answer: (3)

Two light beams fall on a transparent material block at point 1 and 2 with angle 1 and 2, respectively, as shown in figure. After refraction, the beams intersect at point 3 which is exactly on the interface at other end of the block. Given : the distance between 1 and 2, d = 4 3 cm and 1 = 2 = -1 ( n22n1 ), where refractive index of the block n2 > refractive index of the outside medium n1, then the thickness of the block is cm.
