    A glass slab \[(\mu =1.5)\] of thickness 6 cm is placed over a paper. What is the shift in the letters?

    A)  4 cm                     

    B)         2 cm

    C)  1 cm                     

    D)         None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    If object in a denser medium is seen from a rarer medium then image of object will appear at a lesser distance. The distance between object and its image, called as normal shift is given by                 \[x=t\left[ 1-\frac{1}{\mu } \right]\] Here,     \[t=6\,\,cm\]     \[\mu =1.5\] \[\therefore \]  \[x=6\left[ 1-\frac{1}{1.5} \right]\]                    \[=6\left[ \frac{0.5}{1.5} \right]\]                    \[=2\,\,cm\]
