When a body of refractive index \(\boldsymbol{\mu}=\mathrm{1 . 4}\) is put into a liquid, the body becomes invisible. What would be the refractive index of the medium?

  1. A \(\mu=0.7\)
  2. B \(\mu=1\)
  3. C \(\mu=1.4\)
  4. D \(\mu=2.4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mu=1.4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A body becomes invisible when placed in a liquid if the refractive index of the body is equal to the refractive index of the liquid medium. This is because there is no refraction or reflection at the interface between the body and the liquid, as the light rays pass through…
