CBSEENPH12047895

A vessel of depth t is half filled with a liquid having refractive index n1 and the other half is filled with water of having refractive index n2. The apparent depth of the vessel as viewed from top is

  • 2t n1 + n2n1 n2

  • t n1 n2n1 + n2

  • t n1 + n22 n1 n2

  • n1 n2 n1 + n2 

Solution

C.

t n1 + n22 n1 n2

The apparent depth is given by

           I' = t1n1 + t2n2

               = t2n1 + t2n2

           I' = t  n1 + n2 2 n1 n2
