Given that, the velocity of light in quartz = 1 . 5 × 10 8 m   s - 1 and velocity of light in glycerine = 9 4 × 10 8 m   s - 1 . If a slab made of quartz is placed in front of an object kept in glycerine (as shown in the figure), then the shift of the object produced by slab is
Options
- A6   cm
- B3 . 55   cm
- C9   cm
- D2   cm
Correct answer
A. 6   cm
Step-by-step solution
n = velocity of light in vaccum velocity of light in medium , velocity of light in vacuum = 3 × 10 8 m s - 1 n quartz = 2 ; n glycerine = 4 3 ⇒ n quartz n glycerine = 2 4 / 3 = 3 2 = μ rel shift = t 1 - 1 μ rel = 1 8 - 1 3 / 2 = 6 cm
