Multiple Choice Options

  • A 55.44 cm
  • B 18.23 cm
  • C 9.52 cm
  • D 37.58 cm

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

As we know that, the equation of refraction at spherical surface is :

μIIv−μIu=μII−μIR

where,

μII = refractive index of region II = 1.4

μI = refractive index of region I = 1.25

R = radius of curvature = −25 cm

u = object distance = −40 cm

and v = image distance.

⇒1.4v−1.25−40=1.4−1.25−25

⇒1.4v=−0.1525−1.2540 ⇒ v = − 37.58 cm

where, negative sign indicate real image.
