JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 12th April Morning Slot - No. 3)

A concave mirror has radius of curvature of 40 cm. It is at the bottom of a glass that has water filled up to 5 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 distance d from the surface of water. The value of d is dose to: (Refractive index of water = 1.33) JEE Main 2019 (Online) 12th April Morning Slot Physics - Geometrical Optics Question 159 English

Explanation

Light incident from particle P will be reflected at mirror.

u = 5cm, f = $$m - {R \over 2} = - 20cm$$

$${1 \over v} + {1 \over u} = {1 \over f};$$   $${v_1} = + {{20} \over 3}cm$$

This image will act as object for light getting refracted at water surface.

So, object distance $$d = 5 + {{20} \over 3} = {{35} \over 3}cm$$

Below water surface.
After refraction, final image is at

$$d' = d\left( {{{{\mu _2}} \over {{\mu _1}}}} \right) = \left( {{{35} \over 3}} \right)\left( {{1 \over {4/3}}} \right)$$

= $${{35} \over 4} = 8.75\,cm$$

$$ \approx $$ 8.8 cm
