Question: A cylindrical rod of glass with index of refraction 1.50 is immersed in water with index 1.33. The diameter of the rod is 9.00 cm.

A cylindrical rod of glass with index of refraction 1.50 is immersed in water with index 1.33. The diameter of the rod is 9.00 cm. The outer part of each end of the rod has been ground away to form each end into a hemisphere of radius 4.50 cm. The central portion of the rod with straight sides is 75.0 cm long. An object is situated in the water, on the axis of the rod, at a distance of 100 cm from the vertex of the nearer hemisphere.
(a) Find the location of the final image formed by refraction at both surfaces.
(b) Is the final image real or virtual? Upright or inverted? Enlarged or diminished?
