Oct 3, 2018 at 17:24 comment added user60516 Yes, you are right.
Oct 3, 2018 at 17:20 comment added J. M.'s missing motivation "Negligible" only means small, and not always zero. You asked Mathematica for when it will exactly be zero, when you were interested in a different thing altogether.

Oct 3, 2018 at 17:11 comment added user60516 Yes. But the imaginary part is negligible to its real part when $r = 0.01$.
Oct 3, 2018 at 17:09 comment added bill s I don't think r=0.01 is a root. Look at: Plot[Im[1 - 2 Sqrt[1 + I r] + I r], {r, 0, 0.012}]
Oct 3, 2018 at 17:05 comment added user60516 Thanks. But it returns only $r = 0$.
Oct 3, 2018 at 17:00 comment added J. M.'s missing motivation Try Solve[ComplexExpand[Im[1 - 2 Sqrt[1 + I r] + I r], TargetFunctions -> {Re, Im}] == 0, r, Reals]
