Some beverage glasses are made with very thick walls. Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The walls of the glasses are made very thick so that it looks as if these is more beverage in glass than there really is. In Fig. 6(b).20, we have shown actual rays from inside surface of glass. These rays travel through thickness of glass walls, get refracted at the outer wall of glass, bending away from normal and entering the eye. The apparent location of these rays entering the eye is much wider as shown in the figure.
