A hollow sphere of glass of inner and outer radii R and 2R respectively has a small mark on its inner surface. This mark is observed from a point outside the sphere such that the centre of the sphere lies in between. Prove that the mark will appear nearer than it really it, by a distance `(mu-1)(R)//(3mu-1)`
