An object is placed directly below a glass block of thickness 3.0cm. Calculate the lateral displacement of the object if the refractive index of the glass is 1.5.

  • A. 1.0cm
  • B. 1.5cm
  • C. 2.0cm
  • D. 2.5cm

Correct Answer: A. 1.0cm

Explanation

1.5 = \(\frac{3}{\text {apparent displacement}}\)

Apparent depth = 2cm

displacement = 3 - 2

= 1cm
