Three immiscible liquids of densities \(d_1>d_2>d_3\) and refractive indices \(μ_1>μ_2>μ_3\) are put in a beaker. The height of each liquid column is \(\frac{h}{3}\) . A dot is made at the bottom of the beaker. For near normal vision, find the apparent depth of the dot.

Let the apparent depth be o1 for the object seen from μ1 then

\(o_1=\frac{μ_2h}{μ_13}\) 

If seen from μ3 the apparent depth is o2.

\(o_2=\frac{μ_3}{μ2}(\frac{h}{3}+o_1)=\frac{μ_3}{μ_2}(\frac{h}{3}+\frac{μ_2h}{μ_13})=\frac{h}{3}(\frac{μ3}{μ2}+\frac{μ_3}{μ_1})\) 

\(o_3=\frac{1}{μ_3}(\frac{h}{3}+o_2)=\frac{1}{μ_3}[\frac{h}{3}+\frac{h}{3}(\frac{μ_3}{μ_2}+\frac{μ_3}{μ_1})]\) 

\(=\frac{h}{3}(\frac{1}{μ_1}+\frac{1}{μ_2}+\frac{1}{μ_3})\)
