If an observer sees the bottom of the vessel shown in Figure., at 8cm, find the refractive index of the medium in which the observer is present.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`(16)/(15)`

Since width of glass sheet is negligible so neglecting effect of glaas sheet.
`d_(app)=(d_(act))/(mu_(rel))rArr8=(10)/((4/(3mu)))`
`rArr8(4)/(3mu)=10rArrmu=(32)/(30)=(16)/(15)`
