A small pin fixed on a table top is viewed from above from a distanceof 50cm. By what distance would the pin appear to be raised if it isviewed from the same point through a 15cm thick glass slab heldparallel to the table? Refractive index of glass 1.5. Does the answerdepend on the location of the slab?9.16

Answer»

given real depth = 15 cm

μ=1.5μ=1.5

Let the opponent depth be x

μ=15x

=>x=15/1.5x=10cm

Distance through which the pin appears to be raised is15−1=5cmThe answer does not depend on the location of the table .
