To solve the problem of locating the image formed by a glass sphere with a point object embedded in it, we will use the formula for refraction through spherical surfaces. Let's break down the solution step by step for both observers (from the left and from the right). ### Step 1: Understand the Setup - We have a glass sphere with a radius \( R = 20 \, \text{cm} \) and a refractive index \( n_1 = 1.5 \) (for glass). - The refractive index of air (outside the sphere) is \( n_2 = 1.0 \). - The point object is located \( 6 \, \text{cm} \) to the left of the center of the sphere. ### Step 2: Determine Object Distance for Observer on the Left ...
