A vessel contains water up to a height of $20 c m$ and above it an oil up to another $20 c m$ . The refractive indices of the water and the oil are $1.33$ and $1.30$ respectively. Find the apparent depth of the vessel when viewed from above.

$μ$ = $\frac{R e a l d e p t h}{A p p a r e n t d e p t h}$

$h_{1}$ =real depth 1
$h_{2}$ =real depth 2
h'= apparent depth
h'= $\frac{h_{1}}{μ_{1}}$ + $\frac{h_{2}}{μ_{2}}$
h'= $\frac{20}{1.33}$ + $\frac{20}{1.30}$
= 15.03+15.38
= 30.41 cm.
