Q48 / 60 · JEE Advanced 2015 (Paper 1) · Physics
Consider a concave mirror and a convex lens (refractive index = ) of focal length each, separated by a distance of in air (refractive index = ), as shown in the figure. An object is placed at a distance of from the mirror. Its erect image, formed by this combination, has magnification . When the set-up is kept in a medium of refractive index , the magnification becomes . The magnitude is


Correct answer: 7
Solution
For reflection from a concave mirror,
Magnification
Now for refraction from lens,
Magnification
Now when the set-up is immersed in liquid, no effect for the image formed by mirror.
We have
When lens is immersed in liquid,
Magnification
Magnification
Now for refraction from lens,
Magnification
Now when the set-up is immersed in liquid, no effect for the image formed by mirror.
We have
When lens is immersed in liquid,
Magnification
Hence, the correct answer is 7.
