Question
An observer can se through a pin-hole the top end of a thin rod of height h, placed as shown in the figure. The beaker height 3h andits radius h. When the beaker is filled with a liquid up to a height 2h, he can seecthe lower end of the rod. Then the refrective index of the liquid is


Options
A.

B.

C.

D.

Solution
PQ = QR = 2h ∴ ∠i = 45o
∴ ST = RT = h = KM = MN
So, KS =

= (h√5)
∴ sin r =

∴
