! * In the visible range, refractive index values of transparent material are in the range [1 ; 2], then the focal lengthes of a spherical refractive surface (object as well as image) are expected to remain in the same order of magnitude than the radius of curvature, so a few centimeters in this case (we talk in absolute value here).

! \- considering $\overline{S_1A_1}\longrightarrow\infty$ to obtain the object focal length $\overline{S_1F_1}$} we get :<br>
! * The distance of the cathedral from the lensball $|\overline{S_1A}|=90\;m$ is huge compared to the object focal length $|\overline{S_1F_1}|=10\;cm`$, we can consider that the cathedral is at infinity from the lensball and so the image $A_1B_1$ of the cathedral stands quasi in the image focal plane of $DS1$ : $\overline {S_1A_1}=\overline {S_1F'_1}=+15cm$. So we can directly use equation DS2a with :<br>

! With more than 2 significant figures, your calculator would tell you $0.150037$, which nearly exactly the value of $\overline{S_1F'_1}=+0.15\;m$, so the approximation $\overline{S_1A_1}=\overline{S_1F'_1}$ you could have done is fully justified.

! * The final image is real, and stands 2.5 cm in front of the lensball in the side of your eye. Do not bring your eye or camera too close of the lensball \!

! * The size of an image (transversally to the optical axis) is given by the transverse magnification $M_T$. By Definition $M_T$ is the ratio of the algebraic size of the final image $\overline{A'B'}$ to the algebraic size of the initial object $\overline{AB}$. With an intermediate image, it can be break down :<br><br>

! * The image of the cathedral is 1.7 cm heigth and is located between the lens (from its vertex $S2$) and your eyes and at 2.5cm from the lens. If your eye is 20cm away from the lens, so the distance eye-image is 17.5 cm (we use no algebraic values). Thus the image of the catedral subtends the apparent angle $\alpha'=arctan\left(\dfrac{1.7}{17.5}\right)=0.097\;rad=5.6°$ at your eye.
