Question

A concave mirror is placed on a horizontal table, with its axis directed vertically upwards. Let O be the pole of the mirror and C its centre of curvature. A point object is placed at C. It has a real image, also, located at C (a condition called auto-collimation). If the mirror is now filled with water, the image will be

A

Solution

The correct option is D real, and located at a point between C and O
If the mirror is filled with water, it will start acting as a mirror that is kept in a medium other than air.
As a result the apparent position of the object will change as seen from the mirror and it will recede further back.
So the image of the object will be formed somewhere in between the optical pole and the circumcentre
