Correct answer: 30
- Find the refractive index of the medium
Given that the wavelength inside the medium is times the wavelength in air:
Since frequency remains unchanged,
So, the refractive index of the refracting medium is
- Use the given image distance relation
The image is formed 10 m behind the surface, and it is real. So,
Also, the image distance is of the object distance from the surface:
Hence,
Using Cartesian sign convention, object is on the left of the surface:
- Apply refraction at a spherical surface formula
For refraction at a spherical surface:
Substitute values:
Take LCM :
So,
- Compare with the given form
Radius is given as
Thus,
- Final answer
