Question
A plane mirror is placed at the bottom of the 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 see P and its image in the mirror. The apparent distance between these two will be
The correct answer is:
Image formation by a mirror (either plane or spherical) does not depend on the medium.
The image of P will be formed at a distance h below the mirror. If d = depth of liquid in the tank.
Apparent depth of 
Apparent depth of the image of 
\ Apparent distance between P and it's image
