A magician during a show makes a glass lens with n = 1.47 disappear in a trough of liquid. What is the refractive index of the liquid? Could the liquid be water?

Answer»

Solution :The refractive index of the liquid must be equal to 1.47 in order to make the lens disappear. This MEANS` n_(1) = n_(2)` . This gives `1//f =0 or f RARR oo`. The lens in the liquid will act like a PLANE sheet of GLASS. No, the liquid is not water. It could be glycerine.
