Question 34
Refraction of LightA glass block of thickness 10cm is placed on an object. If an observer views the object vertically, the displacement of the object is [glass = 1.5]
- A.3.33cm
- B.5.00cm
- C.6.67cm
- D.8.50cm.
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: A (3.33cm)
Explanation
Apparent depth = 10 ÷ 1.5 ≈ 6.67 cm, so the object appears raised by 10 − 6.67 ≈ 3.33 cm.
