To determine which colored letter will be seen least raised when viewed through water in a glass beaker, we can analyze the situation using the principles of refraction and the refractive indices of different colors of light. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Refraction**: When light passes from one medium to another (in this case, from water to air), it bends due to a change in speed. This bending causes objects to appear raised or shifted from their actual position. 2. **Refractive Index**: The refractive index (μ) of a medium is a measure of how much light slows down in that medium compared to its speed in a vacuum. Different colors of light have different wavelengths and thus different refractive indices when passing through a medium. ...
