Note, value of unknown should be set to 0.0. Enter any 5 of 6 knowns, program calculates missing (=0) one. N[L] = 1.59. The source radius is R2 and image is R1, see above diagram. ||The source and image points are located 5 and 7 cm, respectively, from a spherical concave lens with source radius of -3 cm and image radius of 4 cm. What should the index of refraction of the glass be? Type comma key to see answer. Type (F2) to return to application file."
