The Left-Hand End of a Glass Rod Is Ground to a Spherical

question 73

Short Answer

The left-hand end of a glass rod is ground to a spherical surface.The glass has index of refraction 1.50.A small object 4.00 mm tall is placed on the axis of the rod,37.0 cm to the left of the vertex of the spherical surface.The image is formed in the rod,50.0 cm to the right of the vertex.
(a)What is the magnitude of the radius of curvature of the spherical surface at the end of the rod?
(b)What is the height of the image?
