Question
Solve the previous problem if the paperweight is inverted at its place so that the spherical surface touches the paper.

Solution
Given,
Taking the radius of the paperweight as its thickness = 3 cm
Refractive index of the paperweight (μg) = 3/2
Refractive index of the air (μ1) = 1
Image shift is given by:
\[∆ t = \left( 1 - \frac{1}{\mu} \right)t\]
\[ = \left( 1 - \frac{2}{3} \right)3\]
\[ = \left( \frac{1}{3} \right)3\]
\[ = 1 \text{ cm }\]
The upper surface of the paperweight is flat and the spherical spherical surface is in contact with the printed letter.
Therefore, we will take it as a simple refraction problem.
Hence, the image will appear 1 cm above point A.

One day Chetan’s mother developed a severe stomach ache all of a sudden. She was rushed to the doctor who suggested for an immediate endoscopy test and gave an estimate of expenditure for the same. Chetan immediately contacted his class teacher and shared the information with her. The class teacher arranged for the money and rushed to the hospital. On realizing that Chetan belonged to a below average income group family, even the doctor offered concession for the test fee. The test was conducted successfully.
