Question
Light from a point source in air falls on a convex spherical glass surface of refractive index
1.5
and radius of curvature
80
cm. The distance of light source from the glass surface is
100
cm. At what position is the image formed?

Solution
By this formula
n2/v - n1/u = (n2-n1)/R
1.5/v = (1.5-1)/20 + 1/-100
1.5/v = 5/200 - 1/100
1.5/v = 5-2/200
1.5/v = 3/200
v = 1.5x200/3 = 100
