The correct answer is:
24 cm
The refractive index of water,
$\mu=\frac{4}{3}$
The real depth of image of bubble from the surface of water,
$d=24+8=32 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\therefore$ Apparent depth of the image of bubble is
$d^{\prime}=\frac{d}{\mu}=\frac{32}{4 / 3}=24 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\mu=\frac{4}{3}$
The real depth of image of bubble from the surface of water,
$d=24+8=32 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\therefore$ Apparent depth of the image of bubble is
$d^{\prime}=\frac{d}{\mu}=\frac{32}{4 / 3}=24 \mathrm{~cm}$
