$A$ ray of light falls on the surface of a spherical glass paperweight,making an angle $\alpha$ with the normal,and is refracted in the medium at an angle $\beta$. What is the angle of deviation of the emergent ray from the direction of the incident ray?

  • A
    $(\alpha - \beta)$
  • B
    $2(\alpha - \beta)$
  • C
    $(\alpha - \beta) / 2$
  • D
    $(\beta - \alpha)$

$A$ concave mirror has a radius of curvature of $40\, cm$. It is at the bottom of a glass that has water filled up to $5\, cm$ (see figure). If a small particle is floating on the surface of water,its image as seen from directly above the glass is at a distance $d$ from the surface of water. The value of $d$ is close to ......$cm$ (Refractive index of water $= 1.33$)
