A solid sphere (centre \(O\)) of homogeneous transparent material kept upright has rays parallel to its vertical diameter falling on it. A ray that is aimed at \(P,\) where the horizontal distance \(OP=\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}R\) (\(R\) being the sphere's radius), undergoes refraction at the sphere's surface and strikes the lowest point \(A.\)
Rays falling close to the highest point \((B)\) of the sphere are directed towards a point \(Q\) on the vertical diameter \(AB,\) after refraction. The distance \(BQ\) is:
1.
\(\dfrac{R}{2}\)
2.
\(\dfrac{R\sqrt3}{\sqrt3 +1}\)
3.
\(\dfrac{R\sqrt3}{2}\)
4.
\(\dfrac{R\sqrt3}{\sqrt3 -1}\)
