Refraction, Glass Slab & Apparent Depth

A ray of light travels from air to water to glass and again from glass to air. Refractive index of water w.r.t. air is 'X', glass w.r.t. water is 'Y' and air w.r.t. glass is 'Z'. Which one of the following is correct?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. X=nwnaX = \frac{n_w}{n_a}, Y=ngnwY = \frac{n_g}{n_w}, Z=nangZ = \frac{n_a}{n_g}
  2. XYZ=nwna⋅ngnw⋅nang=1XYZ = \frac{n_w}{n_a} \cdot \frac{n_g}{n_w} \cdot \frac{n_a}{n_g} = 1
  3. So the answer is (b) XYZ = 1.
