An observer can see through a pin-hole the top end of a thin rod of height $h$,placed as shown in the figure. The beaker height is $3h$ and its radius is $h$. When the beaker is filled with a liquid up to a height $2h$,the observer can see the lower end of the rod. Then the refractive index of the liquid is

$A$ vessel of height $2d$ is half-filled with a liquid of refractive index $\sqrt{2}$ and the other half with a liquid of refractive index $n$ (the given liquids are immiscible). Then the apparent depth of the inner surface of the bottom of the vessel (neglecting the thickness of the bottom of the vessel) will be
