Question
A thick-walled wine goblet can be considered to be a hollow glass
sphere with an outer radius of 4.00 cm and an inner radius of 3.40 cm.
The index of refraction of the goblet glass is 1.50. (a) A beam of parallel
light rays enters the side of the empty goblet along a horizontal radius.
Where, if anywhere, will an image be formed? (b) The goblet is filled
with white wine (n = 1.37). Where is the image formed?
