A point object (A) is kept at a distance (L) from a convex mirror on its principal axis. A glass slab is inserted between the object and the mirror with its refracting surfaces perpendicular to the principal axis of the mirror. The thickness of the slab is 6 cm and its refractive index is `(3)/(2)`. The image formed after refraction through the slab, reflection from the mirror followed by refraction through the slab is a virtual image at a distance of 10 cm from the pole of the mirror (on its principal axis). Consider paraxial rays only and calculate the distance (L) of the object from the mirror. Focal length of the mirror is `f = 20 cm`.
