For a spherical surface,when refraction takes place from a rarer medium `(mu_1)` to a denser medium `(mu_2)`, we write
`-(mu_1)/u` + `(mu_2)/v` = `( mu_2-mu_1)/R`
where the symbols have their usual meanings. Now suppose that the object is placed in the denser to the rarer medium . Then, rewrite the above equation.
