Q27.A spherical surface of radius of curvature R, separates air from glass (refractive index = 1.5 ). The centre of curvature is in the glass medium. A point object ' O ' placed in air on the optic axis of the surface, so that its real image is formed at ' I ' inside glass. The line OI intersects the spherical surface at P and PO = PI. The distance PO equals to (1) 5 R (2) 3 R (3) 1.5 R (4) 2 R

9.4 Figures 9.27(a) and (b) show refraction of a ray in air incident at 60° with the normal to a glass-air and water-air interface, respectively. Predict the angle of refraction in glass when the angle of incidence in water is 45° with the normal to a water-glass interface [Fig. 9.27(c)]. FIGURE 9.27
