Refraction, Glass Slab & Apparent Depth

Three immiscible transparent liquids with uniform refractive indices 32,43\frac{3}{2}, \frac{4}{3} and 65\frac{6}{5} are arranged one on top of another. The depths of the liquids are 3 cm 4 cm and 6 cm respectively. The apparent depth of the vessel is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Apparent depth D=∑tkμkD = \sum \dfrac{t_k}{\mu_k}.
  2. D=33/2+44/3+66/5=2+3+5D = \dfrac{3}{3/2} + \dfrac{4}{4/3} + \dfrac{6}{6/5} = 2 + 3 + 5.
  3. D=10D = 10 cm, so the answer is (a).
