To solve the problem of determining the apparent position of a small opaque dot at the center of a solid transparent sphere made of glass (with a refractive index greater than 1), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Setup**: - We have a solid transparent sphere made of glass with a refractive index \( \mu \) (where \( \mu > 1 \)). - There is a small opaque dot at the center of the sphere. - We need to find the apparent position of this dot when observed from outside the sphere. ...
