A coin 2.00 cm in diameter is embedded in a solid glass ball of radius 30.0 cm. The index of refraction of the ball is 1.50, and the coin is 20.0 cm from the surface. Find the position of the image of the coin and the height of the coin's image.

A solid glass sphere with a radius of 4.50 cm and an index of refraction of 1.63 has a small coin embedded 2.50 cm from the front surface of the sphere. For the viewer looking at the coin through the glass, at what distance from the front surface of the glass does the coin's image appear to be located?
