Question #137826

A glass lens of refractive index 1.5 is placed in a trough of liquid. What must be the refractive index of the liquid in order to mark the lens disappear?

Expert's answer

Liquid should have same refractive index as of glass i.e., 1.5 so the light passes from liquid will not deviate when passing through lense .

And hence lense will not appear from any corner of liquid. Thus

Refractive index = 1.5
