A coin kept at the bottom of a glass bowl full of water appears to be higher than it actually is.With the help of a labelled diagram,explain why this happens.answer in brief
Asked by gspublicschool | 02 Mar, 2019, 09:31: AM
Expert Answer
The light rays coming from the coin goes through refraction as it moves from a optical denser medium (water ) to optically rarer medium (air) , therefore, the light rays moves away from the normal. Which when reaches the eye of the observer , the observer consider the object to be in the straigt line ,hence the coin appears to be higher than its actual postion.
