Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1.0 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( S = t \left( 1 - \frac{1}{\mu} \right) \) \( S = 3.0 \left( 1 - \frac{1}{1.5} \right) \) \( S = 3.0 \left( 1 - 0.666... \right) \) \( S = 3.0 \times \frac{1}{3} \) \( S = 1.0 \text{ cm} \)
