A point object O is kept at a distance of OP = u. The radius of curvature of the spherical surface APB is CP = R. The refractive indexes of the media are n
1 and n
2 which are as shown in the diagram. Then,

a) if n
1 > n
2, image is virtual for all values of 'u'.
b) if n
2 = 2n
1, image is virtual when R > u.
c) the image is real for all values of u, n
1 and n
2.
