Solution

For problem $13.1.13$
For problem
For problem $13.1.13$
For problem

Here it was used that h' = 0, no matter what the original h value is. Since the incident height does not change where the ray converges. I would also like to note, that I made a small error, For a light ray travelling at an angle, I wrote sin(β), it is supposed to be tan(β), but we can still use the small angle approximation. So it doesn't change the result.

Answer

[R/2]
