To solve the problem of finding the radius of the sphere when a mark on its surface appears to be at a distance of 15 cm from its actual position, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Setup We have a sphere with a refractive index \( \mu = \frac{3}{2} \). A mark on the surface of the sphere is viewed from a diametrically opposite position, and it appears to be 15 cm away from its actual position. ### Step 2: Define the Variables - Let \( r \) be the radius of the sphere. - The object (mark on the surface) is at a distance \( u \) from the center of the sphere, which is \( -2r \) (negative because it is on the left side of the reference point). ...
