Explain the refraction by two transparent spherically curved surface.

Answer»

Solution :An INFINITESIMAL part of a SPHERICAL surface can be regarded as PLANAR and the same LAWS of refraction can be applied at every point on the surface. Just as for reflection by a spherical mirror.
The normal at the point of incidence is perpendicular to the tangent plane to the spherical surface at that point and therefore, passes through its centre of curvature.
