The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze both statements provided in the question step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement 1:** An object is placed inside a liquid and viewed through air perpendicularly appears to be at a shorter depth than its actual depth. - When an object is submerged in a liquid and viewed from above (through air), the light rays coming from the object undergo refraction at the interface between the liquid and air. - According to the laws of refraction, when light travels from a denser medium (liquid) to a rarer medium (air), it bends away from the normal. - This bending of light causes the object to appear at a position that is shallower than its actual position. Therefore, the apparent depth is less than the actual depth. **Conclusion for Statement 1:** This statement is true. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement 2:** When light passes from a denser medium to a rarer medium, it deviates away from the normal. - Again, we consider the transition of light from a denser medium (like water) to a rarer medium (like air). - According to Snell's Law, the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction is given by: \[ \mu_1 \sin(i) = \mu_2 \sin(r) \] where \( \mu_1 \) is the refractive index of the denser medium, \( \mu_2 \) is the refractive index of the rarer medium, \( i \) is the angle of incidence, and \( r \) is the angle of refraction. - Since the refractive index of the rarer medium is less than that of the denser medium (\( \mu_2 < \mu_1 \)), it follows that: \[ \frac{\sin(i)}{\sin(r)} = \frac{\mu_1}{\mu_2} \] - This implies that \( \sin(r) > \sin(i) \), leading to the conclusion that the angle of refraction \( r \) is greater than the angle of incidence \( i \). Thus, the light ray bends away from the normal. **Conclusion for Statement 2:** This statement is also true. ### Final Conclusion Both statements are true, and Statement 2 provides a correct explanation for Statement 1. Therefore, the correct option is A: Both statements are true, and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1. ---
