Question

In the adjoining figure, SS is a spherical surface separating two media of refractive indices n₁ and n₂ where n₁ > n₂. C is the centre of curvature of the spherical surface. An observer, keeping his eye beyond C in the medium of refractive index n₂ views the refracted image of an object AB placed as shown in the medium of refractive index n₁. The image will be:
