In an experiment to determine the refractive index of a liquid, the liquid was poured into a measuring cylinder, a pin was
placed at the bottom of the cylinder and another pin was used to locate the apparent position of the first pin. The values
of real and apparent depth were used to plot a graph in the figure below.
i) From the graph determine the refractive index of the liquid.
ii) Given that the velocity of light in vacuum is 3.0 x 108 m/s what would be the velocity of light in the liquid
above.
