A glass plate 4.00 mm thick is viewed from above through a microscope. The microscope must be lowered 2.58 mm as the operator shifts from viewing the top surface to viewing the bottom surface through the glass. What is the index of refraction of the glass?

Use the results of Problem 37.10.

Problem 37.10

As shown in Fig. 37-9, an object is at a depth d beneath the surface of a transparent material of refractive index n. As viewed from a point almost directly above, how deep does the object appear to be?
