A container contains a liquid with refractive index of 1.2 up to a height of 60 cm and another liquid having refractive index 1.6 is added to height H above first liquid. If viewed from above, the apparent shift in the position of bottom of container is 40 cm. The value of H is ______ cm.
(Consider liquids are immisible)

  1. A 100
  2. B 90
  3. C 80
  4. D 70
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 80

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(y=\) apparent depth of bottom \(\frac{\mathrm{y}}{1}=\frac{\mathrm{H}}{1.6}+\frac{60}{1.2}\) Shift \(=40\) \(H+60-y=40\) \(\mathrm{H}+60-\frac{\mathrm{H}}{1.6}-\frac{60}{1.2}=40\) \(\frac{6}{16} \mathrm{H}=30\) \(\mathrm{H}=80 \mathrm{~cm}\)
