JEE Advanced 2024 — Paper 1 — Question 24

A glass beaker has a solid, plano-convex base of refractive index 1.60, as shown in the figure. The radius of curvature of the convex surface (SPU) is 9 cm , while the planar surface (STU) acts as a mirror. This beaker is filled with a liquid of refractive index nn up to the level QPR. If the image of a point object O at a height of h (OT in the figure) is formed onto itself, then, which of the following option(s) is(are) correct?

Question figure
  1. Option A:

    For n=1.42, h=50 cm\mathrm{n}=1.42, \mathrm{~h}=50 \mathrm{~cm}.

    Correct
  2. Option B:

    For n=1.35, h=36 cm\mathrm{n}=1.35, \mathrm{~h}=36 \mathrm{~cm}.

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    For n=1.45, h=65 cm\mathrm{n}=1.45, \mathrm{~h}=65 \mathrm{~cm}.

  4. Option D:

    For n=1.48, h=85 cm\mathrm{n}=1.48, \mathrm{~h}=85 \mathrm{~cm}.

Answer: A, B

Step-by-step solution

1f=(n−1)(1R1−1R2)\quad \frac{1}{f}=(n-1)\left(\frac{1}{R_{1}}-\frac{1}{R_{2}}\right)

1f=(1.6−1)(19−1∞)\frac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)\left(\frac{1}{9}-\frac{1}{\infty}\right)

f1=90.6=15 cmf_{1}=\frac{9}{0.6}=15 \mathrm{~cm}

1f2=(n−1)(1∞−19)\frac{1}{f_{2}}=(n-1)\left(\frac{1}{\infty}-\frac{1}{9}\right)

f2=−9(n−1)\mathrm{f}_{2}=\frac{-9}{(\mathrm{n}-1)}

P=2P1+2P2\mathrm{P}=2 \mathrm{P}_{1}+2 \mathrm{P}_{2}

1feq =215−2(n−1)9\frac{1}{f_{\text {eq }}}=\frac{2}{15}-\frac{2(\mathrm{n}-1)}{9}

1feq =18−2(n−1)×1515×9\frac{1}{f_{\text {eq }}}=\frac{18-2(\mathrm{n}-1) \times 15}{15 \times 9}

feq =15×918−2(n−1)×15f_{\text {eq }}=\frac{15 \times 9}{18-2(n-1) \times 15}

Image V=R=2fe=2×15×918−2(n−1)×15\mathrm{V}=\mathrm{R}=2 \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{e}}=\frac{2 \times 15 \times 9}{18-2(\mathrm{n}-1) \times 15}
