Q.

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)           [2025]

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

For spherical surfaces

μ2vμ1u=μ2μ1R

1.5v1(0.2)=1.510.4

1.5v=0.50.410.2

 v=0.4 m
