Q10.In a cylindrical water tank, there are two small holes A and B on the wall at a depth of h1 , from the surface of water and at a height of h2 from the bottom of water tank. Surface of water is at height of h2 from the bottom of water tank. Surface of water is at heigh H from the bottom of water tank. Water coming out from both holes strikes the ground at the same point S . Find the ratio of h1 and h2 (1) Depends on H (2) 1 : 1 (3) 2 : 2 (4) 1 : 2

What This Question Tests

9.3 A tank is filled with water to a height of 12.5 cm. The apparent depth of a needle lying at the bottom of the tank is measured by a microscope to be 9.4 cm. What is the refractive index of water? If water is replaced by a liquid of refractive index 1.63 up to the same height, by what distance would the microscope have to be moved to focus on the needle again?
