Deduce the Cartesian oval for perfect imaging by a refracting surface when the object point is on the optical x-axis 20 cm from the surface vertex and its conjugate image point lies 10 cm inside the second medium. Assume the refracting medium to have an index of 1.50 and the outer medium to be air. Find the equation of the intersection of the oval with the xy-plane, where the origin of the coordinates is at the object point. Generate a table of (x, y)-coordinates for the surface and plot, together with sample rays.
