What is the length of the image of the rod in mirror, according to the observer in air? (refractive index of the liquid is `mu`)

A

`muL + L`

B

`L + (L)/(mu)`

C

`Lmu + (L)/(mu)`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

When observer in rarer medium and objects is in denser medium then the length of immersed portion will be shorter (apparent) Hence length of image of rod in water =`2L +muL - L = L+muL`
Hence length of image of rod seen by observer in air is = `(L + muL)/(mu) = (L)/(mu) +L` . Hence [B]
