Question on: JAMB Physics - 1998

The displacement d produced in a glass block of thickness t and refractive index n when an object is viewed through it is

A
t – n
B
t (1 + 1/n)
C
t (1-1/n)
D
t (1/n - 1)
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C

n = (\frac {\text{real depth}}{\text {apparent depth}{}})

n = (\frac {t}{t-d})

(\frac{t - d}{1}) = (\frac{t}{n})

-d = (\frac{t}{n}) - t

d = - (\frac{t}{n}) + t

d = t - (\frac{t}{n})

d =t (1 - (\frac{1}{n}))
