Problem

Two identical beakers are filled to the same height

h = 20\,\text{cm}

. Beaker A contains only water (

n=1.33

). Beaker B contains two immiscible liquids of equal height

10\,\text{cm}

each: Liquid X (

n=1.5

) at the bottom and Liquid Y (

n=1.2

) at the top. Determine the ratio of the apparent depth of the bottom of Beaker A to the apparent depth of the bottom of Beaker B.
