Obtain an expression for refraction at a single convex spherical surface separating the two media having refractive indices `mu_(1) `(rarer medium) and `mu_(2) `(denser medium) i.e., a relation between `u, v, mu_(1),mu_(2)` and R.

To derive the expression for refraction at a single convex spherical surface separating two media with refractive indices \( \mu_1 \) (for the rarer medium) and \( \mu_2 \) (for the denser medium), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Diagram and Definitions - Draw a convex spherical surface separating two media. - Let the object be located in the rarer medium (with refractive index \( \mu_1 \)) and the image be formed in the denser medium (with refractive index \( \mu_2 \)). - Define the following points: - \( P \): The pole of the spherical surface. - \( C \): The center of curvature. ...
