Let MPN be concabe spherical surface of a medium of refractive index μ. P is the pole o is the centre of curvature PC is the principle axis. Let O be a point object or it's principle axis kept in a rarer medium first incident ray travelling through C is normal to the spherical surface therefor it will not deviate and goes along PX another mident ray OA will refract at Point A and it bends towards the normal. AB and PX are proceeded behind then at I, a virtual image will be form. Let α,β,γ are the ray angle normal with the principle axis respectively. then by snell's law μ=sinrsini ........(1) but here i and r are the small then we put. sini=isinr=r in equation (1) μ=ri i=μn ...........(2) now by using exterior angle theorem in ΔAOC γ=1+a i=γ−α .........(3) now in ΔIAC by using exterior angle theorem γ=b+r rho=γ−β ..........(4) putting value of i and r in equation (2) (γ−α)=μ(γ−β) ...........(5) now angle=radiusarc α=OPPA β=IPPA now γ=CPPA using value of α,β,γ in equation (5) PCPA−POPA=μ(PCPA−PIPA) PA(PC1−PO1)=m.PA(PC1−PO1) PC1−PO1=μ(PC1−PI1) .........(6) now by using sign convention PC=−RPI=V PO=−u using these value in equation (6) (−R1)−(−u1)=μ(R−1+V1) R−1+u1=μ(R−1+v1) R−1+u1=Rμ+vμ R−1+Rμ=vμ−u1
Rμ−1=vμ−u1
This is the required expression for the refraction formula for the concave spherical surface.
