    Study Notes

    Optical Systems and Image Formation

    • A point object 'O' is used to analyze image formation through various optical surfaces.
    • Image formation is dependent on the nature of the optical surface and the distance from the object.

    Key Parameters

    • Refractive Indices: Indicated as n=1, n=2, and n=3, influencing the light behavior through different mediums.
    • Distance Measurements:
      • Image can be formed at specific distances from the plane or curved surface.
      • Measurable distances include 10 cm, 20 cm, and 30 cm from given surfaces.

    Curvature and Principal Axis

    • Radius of Curvature: Defined as 20 cm, this parameter is critical in determining the focal point of curved surfaces.
    • The Principal Axis serves as a reference line along which light travels in optical systems.

    Image Position Options

    • Various potential positions for the final image formed by the optical combination include:
      • On a plane surface (Option 1)
      • 10 cm from the plane surface (Option 2)
      • 30 cm from the plane surface (Option 3)
      • 20 cm from the curved surface (Option 4)

    Correct Answer Insight

    • The right answer for the image position is Option A (1), indicating the image is formed on the plane surface.
