A concave mirror has radius of curvature of
. It is at the bottom of a glass that has water filled up to
(see figure). If a small particle is floating on the surface of water, its image as seen, from directly above the glass, is at a distance
from the surface of water. The value of
is close to : (Refractive index of water
)

Light incident from particle
will be reflected at mirror.


This image will act as object for light getting refracted at water surface.
So, object distance 

Below water surface.
After refraction, final image is at
