    $f_{Lens} = 12 \, cm, f_{Mirror} = 3 \, cm$
  • B
    $f_{Lens} = 3 \, cm, f_{Mirror} = 12 \, cm$
  • C
    $f_{Lens} = 3 \, cm, f_{Mirror} = 3 \, cm$
  • D
    $f_{Lens} = 12 \, cm, f_{Mirror} = 12 \, cm$

When a pin is moved along the principal axis of a small concave mirror,the image position coincides with the object at a point $0.5\, m$ from the mirror. If the mirror is placed at a depth of $0.2\, m$ in a transparent liquid,the same phenomenon occurs when the pin is placed $0.4\, m$ from the mirror. The refractive index of the liquid is

$A$ beaker of radius $r$ is filled with water (refractive index $\frac{4}{3}$) up to a height $H$ as shown in the figure. The beaker is kept on a horizontal table rotating with angular speed $\omega$. This makes the water surface curved so that the difference in the height of the water level at the center and at the circumference of the beaker is $h$ $(h \ll H, h \ll r)$,as shown in the figure. Take this surface to be approximately spherical with a radius of curvature $R$. Which of the following is/are correct? ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity)
$(A)$ $R=\frac{h^2+r^2}{2 h}$
$(B)$ $R=\frac{r^2}{2 h}$
$(C)$ Apparent depth of the bottom of the beaker is close to $\frac{3 H}{4}\left(1+\frac{\omega^2 H}{4 g}\right)^{-1}$
$(D)$ Apparent depth of the bottom of the beaker is close to $\frac{3 H}{2}\left(1+\frac{\omega^2 H}{2 g}\right)^{-1}$
