Using formula of spherical surface or otherwise, find the apparent depth of an object placed `10cm` below the water surface, if seen near normally form air.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Put `R = oo` in the formula of the Refraction at Spherical Surfaces we get,
`v = (un_(2))/(n_(1))`
`u = -10cm`
`n_(1) = (4)/(3)`
`n_(2) = 1`
`v = (10xx1)/(4//3) = 7.5cm`

negative sign imples that the images is formed in water.
`d_(app) = (d_("real"))/(mu_("rel"))`
`= (10)/(4//3) = (30)/(4) = 7.5cm`

A spherical mirror is placed 10 cm below the level of water. A point oject is placed in air 30 cm above the water surface on the axis of the mirror such that two images seen by an observer above the water surface coincide. The images are formed by partial reflection at the water surface and due to emerging light after feflection from the mirror. Find the focal length of the mirror. (mu_("water")=(4)/(3))

A mark is made on the bottom of a vessel and over this mark, a glass slab to thickness 3.5 cm and refractive index (7)/(4) is placed.

Looking down of normally through the water, the apparent depth of the mark below the surface of water will be :
