Q26.As shown in the figure, a plane mirror is fixed at a height of 50 cm from the bottom of tank containing water (ฮผ = 43 ). The height of water in the tank is 8 cm. A small bulb is placed at the bottom of the water tank. The distance of image of the bulb formed by mirror from the bottom of the tank is ______ cm.

What This Question Tests

This question combines the concepts of apparent depth due to refraction at a water surface and reflection from a plane mirror. It requires calculating the apparent position of the bulb before finding its image.

Concepts Tested

Apparent depthReflection from plane mirror

Formulas Used

Real depth / Apparent depth = Refractive index

9.3 A tank is filled with water to a height of 12.5 cm. The apparent depth of a needle lying at the bottom of the tank is measured by a microscope to be 9.4 cm. What is the refractive index of water? If water is replaced by a liquid of refractive index 1.63 up to the same height, by what distance would the microscope have to be moved to focus on the needle again?

9.1 A small candle, 2.5 cm in size is placed at 27 cm in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature 36 cm. At what distance from the mirror should a screen be placed in order to obtain a sharp image? Describe the nature and size of the image. If the candle is moved closer to the mirror, how would the screen have to be moved?
