Optics 1 Question 1
1. A concave mirror has radius of curvature of . It is at the bottom of a glass that has water filled up to (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 distance from the surface of water. The value of is close to

Answer:
Correct Answer: 1. (c)
Solution:
- In the given case,
Focal length,
Now, using mirror formula,
For the light getting refracted at water surface, this image will act as an object.
So, distance of object,
(below the surface). Let’s assume final image at distance
