[CPMT 1999]

Options:

A) 1.33

B) $ \frac{9}{10} $

C) $ \frac{10}{9} $

D) 1.5v

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Real depth = $ 1 $

$ m $ Apparent depth = $ 1-0.1=0.9 $

$ m $ Refractive index $ \mu $ = $ \frac{\text{Real depth}}{\text{Apparent depth}}=\frac{1}{0.9}=\frac{10}{9} $
