#### Spherical refracting surface.
#### Analytical study
A **spherical refracting surface** in analytical paraxial optics is defined by *three quantities* :
* **$`n_{ini}`$** : *refractive index of the initial medium* (the medium on the side on the incident light).
* **$`n_{fin}`$** : *refractive index of the final medium* (the medium on the side on the emerging light, after crossing the refracting surface).
* **$`\overline{SC}`$** : the *algebraic distance between the __vertex S__* (sometimes called "pole", is the centre of the aperture) *and the __center of curvature C__* of the refracting surface.
! *USEFUL* : The whole analytic study below also applies to a plane refracting surface. We just need to remark that a plane surface is a spherical surface whose radius of curvature tends towards infinity.
##### Spherical refracting surface equation
**spherical refracting surface equation** = **"conjuction equation" for a spherical refracting surface**
2. I use the **"transverse magnification equation" for a spherical refracting surface**, to calculate the *__algebraic value__ of the transverse magnification* **$`\overline{M_T}`$**, then to derive the *__algebraic length__* **$`\overline{A_{ima}B_{ima}}`$** of the segment $`[A_{ima}B_{ima}]`$, that is the algebraic distance of the point image $`B_{ima}`$ from its orthogonal projection $`A_{ima}`$ on the optical axis.
* **Thin spherical refracting surface equation** = **conjuction equation** for a spherical refracting surface<br><br>
I know $`\overline{SA_{obj}}$, $n_{ini}$ and $n_{fin}$, I have previously calculated $`\overline{SA_{ima}}$, so I can calculate $`\overline{M_T}`$ and deduced $`\overline{A_{ima}B_{ima}}`$
You know $`\overline{SA_{obj}}$, $n_{inc}$ and $n_{eme}`$, you have previously calculated $`\overline{SA_{ima}}`$, so you can calculate $`\overline{M_T}`$ and deduced $`\overline{A_{ima}B_{ima}}`$.
! *USEFUL* : The conjuction equation and the transverse magnification equation for a plane refracting surface are obtained by rewriting these equations for a spherical refracting surface in the limit when $`|\overline{SC}|\longrightarrow\infty`$.<br> Then we get *for a plane refracting surface :*
