One end of a cylindrical rod is grounded to a hemispherical surface of radius 
. It is immersed in water 
. If the refractive index of the rod is 1.5 and an object is placed in water on the axis at a distance of 10 cm from the pole, then determine the position of the image from the pole on the axis (in cm).
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
31.25
(31.25)
Using sign convention,
Therefore, by using formula
Thus, the image is formed at a distance of 31.25 cm form the pole on the axis, inside the water.
