an empty spherical flask of diameter 100 cm is placed in water (n=4/3). a parallel beam of light strikes the flask.where will it apper to come from to an observer within the flask

Given,
Diameter=100 cmSo radius, r=100/2=50 cmRefractive index of water,μ2=4/3Refractive index of air,μ1=1Object distance, u=Image distance, v=?Using the relation,μ2-u+μ1v=μ1-μ2R0+1v=1-4350=-1150or v=-150 cm
It will appear to come from a distance of 150 cm.
