An air bubble is situated at a distance of 0.08 m from the centre of a sphere of radius 0.12 m. When viewed from the nearest side it appears to be distance of 0.09 m from the centre. Find the refractive index of the material of the sphere. Where will the bubble appear to be when viewed from the farther side?

SOLUTION :Object distance of the air bubble from `P_(1)`
`-u=0.12-0.08=0.04m ` for real object.
`r_(1)=0.12 m (P_(1)O)`
`v=-(0.12-0.09)`
i.e., `v=-0.03 m (P_(1)B)`
(i) using the FORMULA`(n_(0))/(-u)+(n_(1))/(v)= (n_(0)-n_(1))/(r)`
.v. is negative because it is measured opposite to the DIRECTION of incident LIGHT.
`(n_(0))/(0.04)+(1)/(-0.03)=(n_(0)-1)/(0.12)`
`25n_(0)-33.33=(n_(0)-1)8.33`
`25n_(0)-8.33n_(0)=33.33-8.33`
`16.67n_(0)-25`
`therefore n_(0)=1.4997`
`n_(0)=1.50`

(II) u from `P_(2)=(0.12+0.08)=0.20m`
`(1.5)/(0.2)+(1)/(v)=(1.5-1)/(0.12)`
`7.5+(1)/(v)=4.167`
`therefore (1)/(v)=-3.333`
`therefore v= -(1)/(3.333)= -(1)/(10//3)`
or `v=(-3)/(10)=-0.30m`
