Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{h} \sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For near normal incidence,

\(\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{app}}=\frac{\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{actal}}}{\left(\frac{\mu_{\mathrm{in}}}{\mu_{\mathrm{rat}}}\right)}\)

\(\mathrm{h}_{\text {apparent }}=\frac{\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\left(\frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}\right)}+\mathrm{h}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{1}}=\frac{3 \mathrm{h}}{2 \sqrt{2}}=\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{h} \sqrt{2}\)
