The displacement d produced in a glass block of thickness t and refractive index n when an object is viewed through it is

A.

t – n

B.

t (1 + 1/n)

C.

t (1-1/n)

D.

t (1/n - 1)

Correct answer is C

n = \(\frac {\text{real depth}}{\text {apparent depth}{}}\)

n = \(\frac {t}{t-d}\)

\(\frac{t - d}{1}\) = \(\frac{t}{n}\)

-d = \(\frac{t}{n}\) - t

d = - \(\frac{t}{n}\) + t

d = t - \(\frac{t}{n}\)

d =t (1 - \(\frac{1}{n}\))
