A quarter cylinder of radius R and refractive index 1.5 is placed on a table. A point object P is kept at a distance ofmR from it as shown in figure. For what value of m for which a ray from P will emerge parallel to the table?
C.
Refraction at plane surface (1)
n1 = 1,
n2 = 1.5 =
u = - mR
v =?
Using formula,
since R = ∞
n1 = , n2 = 1

⇒ m =
