Problem 3. An infinite grounded conducting plane at z = 0 is deformed with a hemispherical bump of radius R centered at the origin, as shown. A charge q is placed at z = a as shown. Can the method of images be used to find the potential in the region with the charge? If so, specify the image charges; if not, explain why not.
