Consider the situation shown in figure. A plane mirror is fixed at a height h above the bottom of a beaker containing water (refractive index `mu`) up of a bottom formed by the mirror.Find the position of the image of bottom formed by the mirror.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The bottom of the beaker appears to be shifted up by a distance
`Deltat=(1-(1)/(mu))d`
Thus, the apparent distance of the bottom from the mirror is `h-Deltat=h-[1-(1//mu)]^(d)=h-d+(d//mu).` The image is formed behind the mirror at a distance `h-d+(d//mu).`
