Two identical glass rods S1 and S2 (refractive index = 1.5) have one convex end of radius of curvature 10 cm. They are placed with the curved surfaces at a distance d as shown in the figure, with their axes (shown by the dashed line) aligned. When a point source of light P is placed inside rod S1 on its axis at a distance of 50 cm from the curved face, the light rays emanating from it are found to be parallel to the axis inside S2 . The distance d is

For first surface
1v-1.5-50=1-1.5-10
v=50 cm
For second surface
1.5∞-1-(d-50)=1.5-110
d=70 cm
