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.

To determine the refractive index of a liquid experimentally, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the initial and final readings - **Initial reading (before pouring the liquid)**: 3.42 cm - **Final reading (after pouring the liquid)**: 3.38 cm ### Step 2: Calculate the apparent shift The apparent shift can be calculated using the formula: ...
