JEE Main 2019Ray Optics Question with Solution

JEE Main 2019 (12 Apr Shift 1)

Question

A concave mirror has radius of curvature of 40 cm. It is at the bottom of a glass that has water filled up to 5 cm (see figure). If a small particle is floating on the surface of water, its image as seen, from directly above the glass, is at a distance d from the surface of water. The value of d is close to: (Refractive index of water =1.33)

Correct answer
B8.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation


Given
u=-5cm
f=-R2=-402=-20cm
Now
1v+1u=1f
1v=1-20=1-5
 v=+203cm
Then
Object distance d=5+203=353cm (below water surface)
The image after refraction
d'=dμ2μ1
=35311.33
=8.77
d'8.8cm
