    Consider the situation shown in figure. Water \[(\mu =4/3)\] is filled in a beaker upto a height of 10 cm. A plane mirror is fixed at a height of 5 cm from the surface of water. Distance of image from the mirror after reflection from it of an object 0 at the bottom of the beaker is

    A) 15 cm  

    B) 12.5 cm

    C) 7.5 cm 

    D) 10 cm

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Distance of first image \[({{I}_{1}})\]formed after refraction from the plane surface of water is \[\frac{10}{4/3}=7.5cm\] From water surface\[\left( {{d}_{app}}=\frac{{{d}_{actual}}}{\mu } \right)\]. Now, distance of this image is 5+7.5=12.5 cm from the plane mirror, therefore distance of second image \[5+7.5=12.5cm\]\[({{I}_{2}})\]will also be equal to 12.5 cm from the mirror.
