At small angles, refraction of light off a spherical surface of radius R between mediums with indices of refraction n1 and n2 is given by n, n2 // Image Obiect n1 n2 n2 - n1 R where o is the object's distance from the spherical surface and i is the image's dis- tance, and o is in medium n1 and i is in medium n2. If the spherical surface is curved in the direction depicted in the first diagram, then R> 0. If the surface is curved in the other direction, then R< 0. The sign conventions of o and i are the same as those of the thin lens equation that
