Question

Physics Question on Reflection Of Light By Spherical Mirrors

first reflection

Taking the first reflection of M1. If the final image coincides with s, then find n.

Answer

The correct answer is 150
refraction from L
Consider refraction on M1

1V+110=112\frac{1}{V}+\frac{1}{-10}=\frac{1}{-12}

V=60\Rightarrow V=60

Now, Consider refraction from L

1V180=110V=807\frac{1}{V}-\frac{1}{-80}=\frac{1}{-10}\Rightarrow V=\frac{80}{7}

It is at the focus of M2,

So, 807+10=n7\frac{80}{7}+10=\frac{n}{7}

n=150n=150
