The spherical flask placed inside water and a parallel beam of light striking on flask. The observer is observing from inside the flask.

\begin{array}{l}{\text { Using, } \frac{\mu_{2}}{v}-\frac{\mu_{1}}{u}=\frac{\left(\mu_{2}-\mu_{1}\right)}{R}} \\ {\text { Here, } u=-\infty, R=+\frac{15}{2} \mathrm{cm}, \mu_{1}=1 \text { and } \mu_{2}=\frac{4}{3}} \\ {\quad \frac{4 / 3}{v}-\frac{1}{(-\infty)}=\frac{(4 / 3-1)}{(+15 / 2)} \Rightarrow v=-\frac{45}{2} \mathrm{cm}=-22.5 \mathrm{cm}}\end{array}

As v is negative, the image will be formed on the same side as that of the object i.e. the side from which the parallel of light is incident on the flask. As shown in the figure, the parallel beam of light will appear to come from point I (virtual image)
