To find the apparent depth of an object placed at the bottom of a tank filled with liquid, we can use the relationship between the real depth, apparent depth, and the refractive index of the liquid. Here’s how to solve the problem step by step: ### Step 1: Understand the given information - The actual (real) depth of the tank (h) = 10 cm - The refractive index of the liquid (μ) = 1.6 ### Step 2: Use the formula for apparent depth The relationship between the real depth (h), apparent depth (h'), and the refractive index (μ) is given by the formula: ...
