A bubble in a glass slab (refractive index1.5) when viewed from one side appears at \(5 \mathrm{~cm}\) and at \(2 \mathrm{~cm}\) from other side then thickness of the slab is

  1. A 2.5 cm
  2. B 3 cm
  3. C 10.5 cm
  4. D 3.75 cm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 10.5 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the thickness of the glass slab is \(t\) and distance of the bubble from one side is \(x\).
\(\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \frac{x}{\mu}=5 \mathrm{~cm} \quad---(1) \\
& \therefore \frac{t-x}{\mu}=2 \mathrm{~cm} \quad--(2)
\end{aligned}\)
By solving equation (1) and (2), we get,
\(t=7 \mu \mathrm{cm}=10.5 \mathrm{~cm}\)
