A magician during a show makes a glass lens with n = 1.47 disappear in a through of liquid. What is the refractive index of the liquid ? Couldthe liquid be water ? |
| Answer» SOLUTION :The refractive index of the liquid must be equal to 1.47 in ORDER to make the lens disappear. This means `n_(1) = n_(2)`. This gives `(1)/(f) = 0 or f rarr INFTY`. This lens in the liquid will act like a plane sheet of glass. No, the liquid is not WATER. It could be glycerine . | |
