A microscope is focussed on a mark on a piece of paper and then a slab of glass of thickness $3 \mathrm{~cm}$ and refractive index 1.5 is placed over the mark. How should the microscope be moved to get the mark in focus again ?
  1. $2 \mathrm{~cm}$ upward
  2. $1 \mathrm{~cm}$ upward
  3. $4.5 \mathrm{~cm}$ downward
  4. $1 \mathrm{~cm}$ downward

Solution

$=t\left(1-\frac{1}{4}\right)=3\left(1-\frac{1}{1 \cdot 5}\right)=1 \mathrm{~cm}$
