Describe briefly, with the help of labelled diagram, working of a step-up transformer.

The equation of refraction at a spherical surface is \[\frac{\mu_2}{\nu} - \frac{\mu_1}{\mu} = \frac{\mu_2 - \mu_1}{R}\]
Taking \[R = \infty\] show that this equation leads to the equation 
\[\frac{\text{ Real  depth }}{\text{ Apparent  depth }} = \frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1}\]
for refraction at a plane surface.
