A microscope is focused on a mark on a piece of paper and then a slab of glass of thickness `3cm` and refractive index `1.5` is placed over the mark. How should the microscope be moved to get the mark in focus again ?A. 2 cm upwardB. 1 cm upwardC. `4.5` upwardD. 1 cm downward

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Here, real depth of mark, `x = 3 cm`
apparent depth of mark, `y = ?`
refractive index, `mu = 1.5`
As `mu = (x)/(y) :. y = (x)/(mu) = (3)/(1.5) = 2 cm`
Distance through which mark appears to be raised
= `x - y = 3 - 2 = 1 cm`
`:.` To get the mark in focus again, distance through which microscope be moving upwardsd `= 1 cm`.
