To determine the position of the image formed by a point object above the principal axis in the concave side of a spherical interface separating two media, we can use ray tracing. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Draw the Principal Axis and Interface - Begin by drawing a horizontal line to represent the principal axis. - Draw a concave spherical interface (a circular arc) on one side of the principal axis. Label the medium on the left as medium 1 (with refractive index \( \mu_1 \)) and the medium on the right as medium 2 (with refractive index \( \mu_2 \)). **Hint:** Remember that the concave side is the side where the center of curvature is located. ...
