An object is embedded in a block of ice, 10 cm below the plane surface. if the refractive index of the ice is 1.50, the apparent depth below the surface is
  • A.
    2.50 cm
  • B.
    6.67 cm
  • C.
    7.50 cm
  • D.
    7.63 cm
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

Refraction index, n = (real depth)/apparent depth
1.5 = (10)/X
X = (10)/1.5 = 6.67 cm
