Figure 9.37 shows an equiconvex lens (of refractive index 1.50) incontact with a liquid layer on top of a plane mirror. A small needlewith its tip on the principal axis is moved along the axis until itsinverted image is found at the position of the needle. The distance ofthe needle from the lens is measured to be 45.0cm. The liquid isremoved and the experiment is repeated. The new distance ismeasured to be 30.0cm. What is the refractive index of the liquid? |
