(N/A) There are two main points about light:
$(i)$ It travels with enormous speed,and its presently accepted value in a vacuum is $c = 2.99792458 \times 10^{8} \ m/s$. For practical purposes,$c = 3 \times 10^{8} \ m/s$,which is the highest speed attainable in nature.
$(ii)$ Light travels in a straight line.

$A$ point object is placed at a distance of $60\, cm$ from a convex lens of focal length $30\, cm$. If a plane mirror is placed perpendicular to the principal axis of the lens at a distance of $40\, cm$ from it,the final image is formed at a distance of:

$A$ 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 $\frac{3 H}{2}\left(1+\frac{\omega^2 H}{2 g}\right)^{-1}$
