22. 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 $$h.$$ When the beaker is filled with a liquid up to a height $$2h,$$ he can see the lower end of the rod. Then the refractive index of the liquid is
