A layer of oil 3 cm thick is floating on a layer of coloured water 5 cm thick. Refractive index of coloured water is `5//3` and the apparent depth of the two liquids appears to be `36//7`cm. Find the refractive index of oil. |
Answer» Apparent depth (AI)=`(t_(1))/(mu_(1))+(t_(2))/(mu_(2))` `:. (36)/(7)=(5)/(5//3)+(3)/(mu_(2))rArr (3)/(mu_(2))=(36)/(7)-3=(15)/(7)` = `mu_(2)=7/5=1.4` |
