To determine the refractive index of a transparent plate of glass, a microscope is first focused on a tiny scratch in the upper surface, and the barrel position is recorded. Upon further lowering the microscope barrel by 1.87 mm, a focused image of the scratch is seen again. The plate thickness is 1.50 mm. What is the reason for the second image, and what is the refractive index of the glass?
