$A$ beaker contains water up to a height of $h_1$ and kerosene above the water up to a height of $h_2$. The total height is $(h_1 + h_2)$. The refractive index of water is $\mu_1$ and that of kerosene is $\mu_2$. What is the apparent shift of the bottom of the beaker when viewed from above?

  • A
    $\left( {1 - \frac{1}{{{\mu _1}}}} \right)\,{h_2} + \left( {1 - \frac{1}{{{\mu _2}}}} \right)\,{h_1}$
  • B
    $\left( {1 + \frac{1}{{{\mu _1}}}} \right)\,{h_1} - \left( {1 + \frac{1}{{{\mu _2}}}} \right)\,{h_2}$
  • C
    $\left( {1 - \frac{1}{{{\mu _1}}}} \right)\,{h_1} + \left( {1 - \frac{1}{{{\mu _2}}}} \right)\,{h_2}$
  • D
    $\left( {1 + \frac{1}{{{\mu _1}}}} \right)\,{h_2} - \left( {1 + \frac{1}{{{\mu _2}}}} \right)\,{h_1}$

Two transparent slabs have the same thickness $t$. One is made of material $X$ of refractive index $1.5$. The other is made of two materials $Y$ and $Z$ having thicknesses in the ratio $1 : 2$. The refractive index of $Z$ is $1.6$. If a monochromatic parallel beam passing through the slabs has the same number of wavelengths inside both,the refractive index of $Y$ is
