A glass sphere has radius of 5.0 cm and a refractive index of 1.6. A paperweight is constructed by slicing through the sphere on a plate that is 2.0 cm from the centre of the sphere and perpendicular to radius of the sphere that passes through the centre of the circle formed by the intersection of the plane and the sphere. The paperweight is placed on a table and viewed from directly above an observer who is 8.0 cm from the table top, as shown in figure. When viewed through the paperweight, how far away does the table top appear to the observer?

A glass sphere having refractive index (3/2) is having a small irregularity at its centre. It is placed in a liquid of refractive index (4)/(3) such that the surface of the liquid is at a distance r above the sphere, where r = 20 cm is radius of the sphere, where r = 20 cm is radius of the sphere. If the irregularity is viewed from above then what is it's distance (in cm) from the centre where eye will observed the irregularity?

A point source of light S is placed at the bottom of a vessel containg a liquid of refractive index 5//3. A person is viewing the source from above the surface. There is an opaque disc of radius 1 cm floating on the surface. The centre of the disc lies vertically above the source S. The liquid from the vessel is gradually drained out through a tap. What is the maximum height of the liquid for which the source cannot at all be seen from above?
