To solve the problem of finding the net deviation of a beam of light passing through a solid glass sphere, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry of the Problem We have a solid glass sphere with radius \( R \) and refractive index \( \mu \). A horizontal ray of light is incident on the sphere. We need to analyze how this ray behaves as it enters and exits the sphere. **Hint:** Visualize the ray's path as it enters and exits the sphere. Draw a diagram if necessary. ### Step 2: Identify the Angles of Incidence and Refraction ...
