An object A is at a distance of a = 36 cm from a lens with a focal length of . A flat mirror turned through with respect to the optic axis of the lens is placed behind at a distance of . At what distance h (in cm) from the optic axis should the bottom of a tray filled with water up to depth be placed to obtain a sharp image of the object at the bottom?

Answer:
85
Solution:
Lens: , so the converging beam would focus 80 cm beyond the mirror.
The mirror folds the beam downward; the water surface shifts the apparent focus up by .
Requiring the final focus at the tray bottom gives .
