  • question_answer
    A microscope is of cussed on a mark on a piece of paper and then a slab of glass of thickness 3 cm and refractive index 1.5 is placed over the mark. How should the microscope be moved to get the mark again in focus?

    A)  2 cm upward                    

    B)  1 cm upward

    C)  45 cm downward           

    D)  1 cm downward

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Apparent depth of mark as seen through a glass stab of thickness \[x\] and refractive index \[\mu \] is Apparent depth\[\text{=}\frac{\text{Real}\,\,\text{depth}}{\text{Refractive}\,\,\text{index}}\] or            \[x=\frac{x}{\mu }=\frac{3}{1.5}=2\,\,cm\] As image appears to be raised by\[1\,\,cm\], therefore microscope must be moved upward by\[1\,\,cm\].
