A mark is made on the bottom of beaker and a microscope is focussed on it. The microscope is raised through `1.5 cm`. To what height water must be poured into the beaker to bring the mark again into focus ? Given that `mu` for water is `4//3`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
6 cm
Here, apparent shift,
`d = 1.5 cm`
Let `t` be the height through which water must be poured into the beaker.
As `d = t (1 - (1)/(mu))`
`:. 1.5 = t (1 - (1)/(4//3)) = (t)/(4)` ,
`t = 4 xx 1.5 = 6 cm`.

A mark at the bottom of a bekar is focussed by a microscope .When water is poured in the beaker up to a height of 16 cm,the microscope has to be raised through a distance of 4 cm in order to bring the mark to focus again .Calculate the refractive index of water.

To determine the refractive index of a liquid experimentally, a mark is made on the beaker and a microscope was focussed on it, giving a reading of 3.42 cm. On pouring liquid till a height 2.68 cm inside the beaker, the reading of refocussed microscope is 3.38 cm. Calculate the refractive index of the liquid.
