Question

An observer can see through a small hole on the side of a jar (radius 15 cm ) at a point at height of 15 cm from the bottom (see figure). The hole is at a height of 45 cm. When the jar is filled with a liquid up to a height of 30 cm the same observer can see the edge at the bottom of the jar. If the refractive index of the liquid isN100, where N is an integer, the value of N is

Step-by-step explanation

From Shell's Law

μ×sini=1×sinr
