Answer #1

nw = index of refraction of water = 1.33

na = index of refraction of air = 1

do = object distance = 4.3 cm

di = image distance = ?

R = Radius of bowl = - 17 cm

Using the equation

nw/do + na /di = (nw - na)/R

inserting the values

1.33/4.3 + 1/di = (1.33 - 1)/(- 17)

di = - 3.04 cm
