An air bubble in water ( = 4 3 ) is shown in figure. The apparent depth of the image of the bubble in plane mirror viewed by observer is.
Options
- A24 cm
- B16 cm
- C18 cm
- D12 cm
Correct answer
A. 24 cm
Step-by-step solution
The bubble is 8 cm above the plane mirror. By mirror property, the image forms 8 cm below the mirror (behind it). Real depth of this image from the water surface = 24 + 8 = 32 cm Using the apparent depth formula: Apparent Depth = Real Depth = 32 4 3 = 32 3 4 = 24 cm
