Since the angle of deviation increases with the angle (p) of incidence, (see Wood's Optics, p. 46,) the rod will be most bent, when this latter angle is a maximum. Now, the angle of refraction being 90°, is a maximum, and then

Since the object 0 is very small, it may be considered an arc of a circle concentric with a vertical section of the cylinder. Hence the image o' will also be a circular arc concentric with the object, and if q, q' denote their radii, we have

776. In the sphere the angle of incidence at the second surface is always equal to the angle of refraction at the first surface. Hence it will readily appear, upon drawing the figure, that the angle of incidence at the first surface is equal to the angle of refraction at the second, and therefore the ray intercepted between the surfaces will be the base of two opposite isosceles ▲, whose vertices are at the centre and intersection of the first and last directions of the ray. Now, when the distance of the centre from this radiant chord is given, the chord itself is given, and the
