In a container of height 21 ~cm , certain transparent liquid is taken to a height of 12 ~cm . When seen from above, it appears half filled. The refractive index of the liquid is
Options
- A7 6
- B5 4
- C3 2
- D4 3
Correct answer
D. 4 3
Step-by-step solution
Real depth of liquid = 12 cm Empty space above liquid = 21 - 12 = 9 cm Viewed from above, it appears half filled, meaning apparent depth of liquid = height of empty space = 9 cm = h_ real h_ app = 12 9 = 4 3
