The equation of refraction at a spherical surface is
` ( mu_2 )/(v ) - (mu_1)/(u ) =(mu_2 -mu_1)/( R ) .`Taking R= infinity , show that this equation leads to the equation `(" real depth ")/( "Apparent depth") =(mu_1)/( mu_2)` for refraction at a plane surface .

The diagram shows a spherical surface which separates two media of refractive index, mu_(1) and mu_(2) . Respectively. Now, a point object is placed on the principal axis as shown in the figure. Then

Monochramatic light is incident on the pLane interface AB between two media of refractive indices mu_1 and mu_2(mu_2gtmu_1) at an angle of incidence theta as shown in figure. The angle theta is infinitesimally greater thannte critical angle for the two media so thast total internal reflection takes place.
