To solve the problem of how much the ink dot appears to be raised when viewed through a glass slab, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: We have a glass slab of thickness \( t = 10 \) cm and a refractive index \( n = 1.5 \). We need to find out how much the ink dot appears to be raised when viewed through this slab. 2. **Using the Formula for Apparent Depth**: The apparent depth \( h' \) of an object viewed through a medium can be calculated using the formula: \[ ...
