The figure shows a very long circular cylinder of radius R = 2 m made of glass with μg = 3/2, fixed to the horizontal surface. The space between the cylinder and a vertical wall (plane mirror) is filled with water of refractive index μw = 4/3, as shown. Find the position of the final image of object O with respect to centre C. Consider only paraxial rays in the vertical plane containing O and C.
