A coin placed at the bottom of a beaker appears to be raised by 4.0‌cm . If the refractive index of water is 4∕3 , find the depth of the water in the beaker.
Solution:  
Given : Shift =4‌cm,µ=‌
4
3
,
Real depth = ?
We know that Shift
‌=‌ Real depth ‌(1−‌
1
‌aµm
)

4‌=‌ Real depth ‌(1−‌
3
4
)

4‌=‌ Real depth ‌×‌
1
4

‌ Real depth ‌‌=‌
4×4
