To solve the problem step by step, we will use the concept of apparent depth and the refractive index of a medium. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the scenario**: We have a glass cube with an edge length of 0.24 m. An air bubble is located inside the cube. When viewed from one face, the bubble appears to be 0.1 m from that face, and when viewed from the opposite face, it appears to be 0.06 m from that face. 2. **Define the variables**: ...
