Refraction, Glass Slab & Apparent Depth

A vessel is filled with two different liquids which do not mix. One is 40 cm deep and has refractive index 1.6 and other is 30 cm deep and has refractive index 1.51.5. The apparent depth of vessel when viewed normally is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Apparent depth D=t1μ1+t2μ2D = \dfrac{t_1}{\mu_1} + \dfrac{t_2}{\mu_2}.
  2. D=401.6+301.5=25+20D = \dfrac{40}{1.6} + \dfrac{30}{1.5} = 25 + 20.
  3. D=45D = 45 cm, so the answer is (c).
