If a plane glass slab is placed on letters of different colours, then red coloured letter appears to be raised minimum, why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The apparent normal shift `= t(1 - (1)/(mu))`
As `mu_r` is lowest among visible colours, the red coloured letter appears to be raised minimum.
