The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the height of the liquid in the bucket when a microscope is focused on an object at the bottom and then raised by 30 cm after pouring a liquid with a refractive index of \( \frac{5}{3} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - The microscope is initially focused on an object at the bottom of the bucket. - When a liquid with a refractive index \( \mu = \frac{5}{3} \) is poured into the bucket, the microscope needs to be raised by 30 cm to refocus on the object. 2. **Using the Formula for Apparent Depth**: - The formula relating the actual depth \( h \) and the apparent depth \( d \) when viewed through a medium with refractive index \( \mu \) is given by: \[ d = h \left(1 - \frac{1}{\mu}\right) \] - Here, \( d \) is the apparent depth (which changes when the microscope is raised), and \( h \) is the actual depth of the object. 3. **Setting Up the Equation**: - Since the microscope is raised by 30 cm, we can say: \[ d = h \left(1 - \frac{1}{\mu}\right) + 30 \] - Rearranging gives us: \[ 30 = h \left(1 - \frac{1}{\mu}\right) \] 4. **Substituting the Refractive Index**: - Substitute \( \mu = \frac{5}{3} \) into the equation: \[ 30 = h \left(1 - \frac{3}{5}\right) \] - Simplifying \( 1 - \frac{3}{5} \) gives: \[ 1 - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{5} \] - Therefore, the equation becomes: \[ 30 = h \left(\frac{2}{5}\right) \] 5. **Solving for \( h \)**: - To find \( h \), rearrange the equation: \[ h = 30 \times \frac{5}{2} \] - Calculating this gives: \[ h = 75 \text{ cm} \] ### Final Answer: The height of the liquid in the bucket is **75 cm**.
