To solve the problem, we need to find the apparent position of the air bubble when viewed from the nearest side of the spherical glass paperweight. Here are the steps to arrive at the solution: ### Step 1: Identify the given parameters - Diameter of the spherical paperweight = 6 cm - Radius (R) = Diameter / 2 = 6 cm / 2 = 3 cm - Distance of the air bubble from the center (u) = 1.5 cm ### Step 2: Determine the distances ...
