Question

A spherical surface separates two media of refractive indices $n_1 = 1$ and $n_2 = 1.5$ . The object $O$ is placed $0.2 \, \text{m}$ to the left of the spherical surface, whose centre of curvature $C$ lies $0.4 \, \text{m}$ to its right (radius of curvature $R = 0.4 \, \text{m}$ ). Light travels from left to right. The distance of the image of $O$ is:

A
$0.24 \, \text{m}$ right to the spherical surface
B
$0.4 \, \text{m}$ left to the spherical surface
C
$0.24 \, \text{m}$ left to the spherical surface
D
$0.4 \, \text{m}$ right to the spherical surface
