When an object in rarer medium is viewed...

When an object in rarer medium is viewed from denser medium, then that object seems to be .....

A

shifted up

B

shifted down

C

at the same position

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, D

`(h_i)/(h_0)=(n_(("denser")))/(n_("(rarer)"))=n/1`
`therefore n=(h_i)/(h_0)`
Here, `h_i lt h_0` Apparent height `lt` real height
`therefore` Object seems to be shifted down.
