Two transparent media of refractive indices `n_(1) and n_(2)` are separated by a spherical transparent surface. The rays of light incident on the surface get refracted into the medium on the other side. The laws of refraction are valid at each point of the spherical surface. A lens is a transparent optical medium bounded by two surfaces, at least one of which should be spherical. The focal length of a lens is determined by curvature `(R_(1) and R_(2))` of its two surfaces and the refractive index (n) of the medium of the lens with respect to the surrounding medium. Depending on `R_(1) and R_(2)`, a lens behaves as a diverging or a converging lens. The ability of a lens to diverge or converge a beam of light incident on it defines its power.
A point object is placed in air at a distance 'R' in front of a convex spherical refracting surface of radius of curvature R. If the medium on the other side of the surface is glass, then the image is :

A

real and formed in glass.

B

real and formed in air.

C

virtual and formed in glass.

D

virtual and formed in air.
