A man standing in a swimming pool looks at a stone lying at the bottom. The depth of the swimming pool is h. At what distance from the surface of water is the image of the stone formed -

A

h

B

`mu h`

C

`(h )/(mu)`

D

`(mu)/(h)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

As ` mu = ( " real depth ")/(" apparent depth") `
` therefore ` apparent depth `=("real depth ")/(mu) = (h)/(mu)`
`=( 96 )/(3) cm = 32 cm`
