An ink dot appeared to be raised by 1 cm...

An ink dot appeared to be raised by 1 cm when covered with a glass slab of thickness t cm. Calculate the value of t if the velocity of light in air and glass is `3 xx 10^(8) m//s` and `2 xx 10^(8) m//s`, respectively.

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the thickness \( t \) of the glass slab given that an ink dot appears to be raised by 1 cm when covered with the slab. We will use the concept of apparent depth and real depth in optics. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Velocity of light in air, \( v_{\text{air}} = 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \) - Velocity of light in glass, \( v_{\text{glass}} = 2 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \) - The apparent rise of the ink dot, \( h = 1 \, \text{cm} \) ...
