A concave mirror has radius of curvature of40 cm.It is at the bottom of a glass that has water filled up to5 cm(see figure). If a small particle is floating on the surface of water, its image as seen, from directly above the glass, is at a distancedfrom the surface of water. The value ofdis close to: (Refractive index of water=1.33)

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:


Given
u=-5 cm
f=-R2=-402=-20 cm 
Now
1v+1u=1f
1v=1-20=1-5
∴ v=+203 cm
Then
Object distanced=5+203=353 cm(below water surface)
The image after refraction
d'=dμ2μ1
=35311.33
=8.77
d'≃8.8 cm
