A spherical surface of radius of curvature R separates air (refractive index 1.0) from glass (refractive index 1.5). The centre of curvature is in the glass. A point-object P placed in air is found to have a real image Q in the glass. The line PQ cuts the surface at a point O and PO=OQ. The distance PO is equal to:
