An observer can see the top of a thin rod of height $h$ through a pinhole. The height of the container is $3h$ and its radius is $2h$. When the container is filled with a liquid up to a height of $2h$,the observer can see the bottom end of the rod. Find the refractive index of the liquid.

    $\frac{5}{2}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$
  • D
