What exactly is the radius of curvature of an object? And how would this be applied to a question such as the following:
A glass porthole of a submerged craft has parallel curved sides, both of radius of curvature R. What would R be in order that an object in the water 2m away from the porthole should appear undisplaced to an observer inside the craft? Refractive index of water: 4/3, glass: 3/2, air: 1
