A glass beaker contains water upto a height \( h_1 \) and kerosene oil above water upto height \( h_2 \). If the refractive index of water is \( \mu_w \) and that of oil is \( \mu_k \), then what will be the apparent shift in the position of the bottom of the beaker when viewed from above ?

  1. A \( \left[ \left( 1 - \frac{1}{\mu_w} \right) + \left( 1 - \frac{1}{\mu_k} \right) \right] (h_1 + h_2) \)
  2. B \( \left( 1 - \frac{1}{\mu_k} \right) h_1 + \left( 1 - \frac{1}{\mu_w} \right) h_1 \)
  3. C \( \left( 1 - \frac{1}{\mu_w} \right) h_2 + \left( 1 - \frac{1}{\mu_k} \right) h_1 \)
  4. D \( \left( 1 - \frac{1}{\mu_w} \right) h_1 + \left( 1 - \frac{1}{\mu_k} \right) h_2 \)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \( \left( 1 - \frac{1}{\mu_w} \right) h_1 + \left( 1 - \frac{1}{\mu_k} \right) h_2 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Shift due to water: \( \Delta h_w = h_1 \left( 1 - \frac{1}{\mu_w} \right) \) Shift due to kerosene: \( \Delta h_k = h_2 \left( 1 - \frac{1}{\mu_k} \right) \) Total shift:…
