A plane mirror is placed at the bottom of a fish tank filled with water of refractive index \(\dfrac{4}{3}.\) The fish is at a height \(10~\text{cm}\) above the plane mirror. An observer \(O\) is vertically above the fish outside the water. The apparent distance between the fish and its image is:

1. \(15​​\text{cm}\) 2. \(30~\text{cm}\)
3. \(35~\text{cm}\) 4. \(45~\text{cm}\)

A liquid of refractive index \(\frac{4}{3}\) is placed between two identical planoconvex-lenses touching each other at their spherical surfaces of radius \(R\). If the refractive index of the lens is \(1.50\), then the lens behaves as:
1. a convergent with power \(P=\frac{1}{3 R}\)
2. a convergent with power \(P=\frac{1}{6 R}\)
3. a divergent with power \(P=\frac{1}{3 R}\)
4. a divergent with power \(P=\frac{1}{6 R}\)
