STANDARD Physics Refraction at Spherical Surfaces MCQ Question with Solution

From a point source, a light falls on a spherical glass surface (μ = 1.5 and radius of curvature 10 cm). The distance between point source and glass surface is 50 cm. The position of image is

A

25 cm

B

50 cm

C

100 cm

D

150 cm

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Using the lens formula for spherical surfaces, the position of the image is calculated to be 50 cm. Hence, option (B) is correct.
