Question

A point luminous object (O) is at a distance h from front face of a glass slab of width d and of refractive index μ on the back face of slab is reflecting plane mirror. An observer sees the image of object in mirror as shown in the figure. Distance of image from front face as seen by observer will be:

Solution

The correct option is A h+2dμ
As shown in figure glass slab will form the image of bottom i.e., mirror MM at a depth (dμ) from its front face.

So the distance of object O from virtual mirror mm will be (h+dμ).

Now as a plane mirror forms image behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is in front of it, the distance of image I from mm will be (h+dμ) and as the distance of virtual mirror from the front face of slab is (dμ), the distance of image I from front face as seen by observer will be

=(h+dμ)+dμ=(h+2dμ)
