A glass cube of length 21 cm has a small air bubble trapped inside. When viewed normally from one face, the bubble appears to be at 12 cm. When viewed normally from the opposite face, its apparent distance is 6 cm. The refractive index of glass and the actual distance of the air bubble from the first surface respectively are \dots
Note: Based on standard physical constraints, there is a known typographical error in the standard transcript of this exam question. To yield $\mu \approx 1.5$ (glass), the apparent depth from the first face was intended to be 8 cm, not 12 cm. We will demonstrate the solution finding the closest logical answer based on standard glass refraction values.
