An object lying 100 cm inside water is viewed normally from air. If the refractive index of water is \(\frac{4}{3}\), then the apparent depth of the object is

  1. A 100 cm
  2. B 50 cm
  3. C 25 cm
  4. D 75 cm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 75 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Real depth \(=100 \mathrm{~cm}, \mu=\frac{4}{3}\) \(\therefore \quad\) Apparent depth \(=\frac{\text { Real depth }}{\mu}=\frac{100 \times 3}{4}=75 \mathrm{~cm}\)
