Q.

A thin biconvex lens is prepared from glass of refractive index μ2=32. The two convex surfaces have equal radii of 20 cm each. One of the surfaces is silvered from  outside to make it reflecting. The lens now is placed in a large medium of refractive index μ1=5/3 . It acts as a

Detailed Solution

For refraction at P1  :
  μ2vμ1u=μ2μ1R3/2v5/3=3/25/320
 32v0=1120v=180cm
For reflection at  P2:-  
 1v+1u=1f1v+1180=1(20/2)
 1v=1180110v=18017cm
Again refraction at P1  :-
 μ2vμ1u=μ2μ1R5/3v3/2(180/17)=5/33/220
 
53v51360=11205v=51120140v=12.5cm
Final real image is formed at 12.5 cm from given silvered lens. This distance is focal length of the effective mirror. As the focus is real, it behaves like a converging or concave mirror of focal length 12.5 cm.
