i was asked to find the angle [tex]\theta[/tex], the height h2, and the back focal length in terms of the radius of curvatures. I'm really stunned that i couldn't draw a line. thanks in advance.

Hi mrquanta, welcome to PF!:smile:

You must show some attempt at a solution to receive help. We are not here to do your homework for you.

Why not start by calculating the angle of incidence (in terms of [itex]h_1[/itex] and [itex]R_2[/itex], via basic geometry) of the oncoming ray on the leftmost surface?...What does knowing that angle of incidence allow you to calculate (via Snell's Law)?:wink:
