#### Incorrect.
When an object is placed a distance \( p \) in front of a spherical refracting surface with radius of curvature \( r \), the image distance is \( i \). If the index of refraction of the surrounding material is \( n_1 \), what is the index of refraction of the refracting material? State your answer in terms of the given variables.
\[ n_2 = \]
#### Diagram Explanation
The diagram provided shows a fraction with a complex expression. It is given as follows:
\[
n_1 \frac{\frac{1}{p} - \frac{1}{R}}{\frac{1}{1} - \frac{1}{r}}
\]
This fraction highlights the relationship that needs to be used to determine \( n_2 \) based on the provided variables \( p \) (object distance), \( i \) (image distance), \( r \) (radius of curvature), and \( n_1 \) (index of refraction of the surrounding material).
This diagram should help you solve for the index of refraction \( n_2 \) of the refracting material.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F3861071f-90cb-4097-84b9-a523b25fee85%2F691bf65b-043f-4cd7-b3f6-0ff313858338%2Fpv9459_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
