A plane mirror is placed at the bottom of a tank containing a liquid of refractive index ' ', ' p ' is a small object at a height ' h ' above the mirror. An observer ' O ' vertically above ' p ' outside the liquid sees ' p ' and the image in a mirror. The apparent distance between these two will be
Options
- A2 ~h
- B2 h
- C2 ~h ( -1)
- Dh (1+ 1 )
Correct answer
B. 2 h
Step-by-step solution
Let the apparent depth of P be x ₁ and the apparent depth of the image of P be x ₂ . x ₁= d - h and x ₂= d + h Apparent distance between P and its image is aligned x ₂-x₁ & = d+h - (d-h) & = d+h-d+h = 2 h aligned
