Refraction at a Spherical Surface

Chapter-9|Ray Optics and Optical Instrument|NCERT 12th Physics:

Refraction at a Spherical Surface:

We will consider two transparent medium of refractive index n₁ and  n₂, the boundary between two surfaces is a spherical surface of radius R.


Assumptions:

1. All the rays are paraxial, that means P and P’ are coincide.

2. θ₁ and  θ₂ are very small angle.

3. α, β and γ are also very very small angle.
