STANDARD Physics Refraction MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12
A vessel of depth x is half filled with oil of refractive index μ₁ and the other half is filled with water of refractive index μ₂. The apparent depth of the vessel when viewed from above is
A
x(μ₂ + μ₁) / 2μ₁μ₂
B
xμ₁μ₂ / 2(μ₁ + μ₂)
C
xμ₁μ₂ / (μ₁ + μ₂)
D
2x(μ₁ + μ₂) / μ₁μ₂
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The apparent depth is calculated using the formula for refractive index and the given conditions. The correct formula is x(μ₂ + μ₁) / 2μ₁μ₂.
