Refraction, Glass Slab & Apparent Depth

An ice cube has a bubble inside. When viewed from one side the apparent distance of the bubble is 12 cm12\text{ cm}. When viewed from the opposite side, the apparent distance of the bubble is observed as 4 cm4\text{ cm}. If the side of the ice cube is 24 cm24\text{ cm}, the refractive index of the ice cube is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Real distances from the two faces add up to the side: μ(12+4)=24\mu(12 + 4) = 24.
  2. μ=2416=32\mu = \dfrac{24}{16} = \dfrac{3}{2}.
  3. So the answer is (a).
