(choose chapter or problem)

The magnification of the image formed by a refracting surface is given by M 5 2 n1q n2 p where n1, n2, p, and q are defined as they are for Figure 36.17 and Equation 36.8. A paperweight is made of a solid glass hemisphere with index of refraction 1.50. The radius of the circular cross section is 4.00 cm. The hemisphere is placed on its flat surface, with the center directly over a 2.50-mm-long line drawn on a sheet of paper. What is the length of this line as seen by someone looking vertically down on the hemisphere?
