Question

Consider a concave mirror and a convex lens (refractive index = 1.5) of focal length 10 cm each, separated by a distance of 50 cm in air (refractive index = 1) as shown in the figure. An object is placed at a distance of 15 cm from the mirror. Its erect image formed by this combination has magnification M1. When the set-up is kept in a medium of refractive index 7/6, the magnification becomes M2. The magnitude M2M1 is (give answer upto two decimal place)

Solution

The first image from reflection by spherical concave mirror can be found from mirror formula:
1v+1u=1f...(i)
For concave surface: u=-15 cm, f=-10 cm
Substituting in equation (i)
1v+115=110=1v=1015150v=30cm
the magnification is given as m=vu=3015=2
The first image will act as object for lens and it's position can be found using lens formula
1v1u=1f...(ii)
For concave surface: u=-20 cm, f=10 cm
Substituting in equation (ii)
1v120=1101v=110120=2120v=20cm
the magnification is given as m=vu=2020=1
total magnification M1=2×1=2

Now the whole set is immersed in liquid of n=76 the reflection from concave mirror will remain same as their is no change in object position and focal length.
The change in focal length can be found using lens maker formula
1f=(μ2μ11)(1R11R2)
1fair=(1.51)(1R11R2)...(iii)
1fliquid=(1.5761)(1R11R2)...(iv)
dividing (iii) by (iv)
fliquidfair=1232671
fliquidfair=1232671=74
fliquid=fair×74=704 cm

The first image will act as object for lens and it's position can be found using lens formula
1v1u=1f...(i)
For concave surface: u=20 cm,f=704 cm
Substituting in equation (i)
1v120=4701v470120=80701400v=140 cm
the magnification is given as m=vu=2020=7
total magnification M2=2×7=14
M2M1=7
