The apparent depth of a needle lying at the bottom of a tank,which is filled with water of refractive index $1.33$ to a height of $12.5\,cm$,is measured by a microscope to be $9.4\,cm$. If water is replaced by a liquid of refractive index $1.5$ up to the same height,what distance would the microscope have to be moved to focus on the needle again (in $,cm$)?

  • A
    $1.1$
  • B
    $2.13$
  • C
    $3.1$
  • D
    $4.15$
