Question

A thin spherical glass shell in air is filled with an unknown
liquid. A parallel light beam is incident on the shell, and it
is observed that the light is brought to focus on the
surface of the shell directly opposite. What is the
reflective index of the liquid?
The correct answer is 2, but I do not understand how to
get this answer.
