Clarify the concept of refrection index with example
1 answer:
The refractive index is used to measure how much light bends as it goes from one medium to another the refractive index of air =1 as light doesn’t bend in it
When looking into a glass of water with a straw the straw may appear bent or morphed as the water has a different refractive index to air (and the light is passing from air to glass of water)

To solve this problem we will begin by finding the pressure through density and average depth. Later we will find the Force, by means of the relation of the pressure and the area.
Here,
h = Depth average
= Density
Moreover,
Replacing,
Finally the force
