$A$ 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 $9.4 \, cm$. If water is replaced by a liquid of refractive index $1.63$ up to the same height,what will be the apparent depth of the needle in $cm$?

The refractive index of air is $1.0003$. The thickness of an air column that will contain one more wavelength of yellow light $(6000 \mathring A)$ than in the same thickness in a vacuum is:
